El fracaso escolar: diagnóstico y tratamiento
José Manuel Bautista Vallejo
Universidad de Huelva (España)
Entendemos por fracaso escolar las dificultades para alcanzar los objetivos marcados por el sistema educativo. Dichas dificultades no se refieren solamente a los handicaps personales, sino también a la falta de capacidad de adaptación del sistema. Por tanto, el fracaso no es simplemente un fenómeno que refleja las diferencias de rendimiento entre el alumnado. Lejos de esto, entendemos que este concepto abarca diversos significados que se adentran en el complejo mundo de la teoría del currículum y de los valores que la escuela como institución va transmitiendo y que, además, debe ser analizado en el marco de un determinado contexto. El concepto, por tanto, de fracaso escolar no está exento de controversia.
En el ámbito de la psicopedagogía, el estudio del fracaso escolar debe conducir siempre a un esmerado diagnóstico y éste a un adecuado programa de intervención, teniendo en cuenta la índole general del problema, en relación a las múltiples variables que pueden estar afectadas.
¿Cuáles son las fases de un diagnóstico?
A) Información escolar y familiar
De la entrevista familiar pueden obtenerse datos en los campos de la historia evolutiva, datos relativos al embarazo, parto, nacimiento, crecimiento y estado de salud en general.
En lo relativo al informe escolar, no se trata tanto de las evaluaciones cuantitativas como la opinión que tienen los profesores respecto a: integración en el grupo, reacción frente al medio escolar, rendimiento en relación a la opinión que tienen los profesores de su capacidad, existencia de alguna anomalía específica observada, etc.
B) Exploración psico-pedagógica
- Nivel mental: interesa conocer el nivel mental del niño para poder descartar un retraso intelectual como causa de la dificultad de aprendizaje.
- Exploración del lenguaje: nivel de evolución del lenguaje (vocabulario, estructuración de frases, uso de verbos, etc.), comparación entre el lenguaje espontáneo y el repetitivo, alteraciones (dislalias e inversiones).
- Exploración del nivel pedagógico: es de vital importancia el estudio de los niveles adquiridos en las materias básicas. Interesa conocer la madurez gráfica y lectora del niño, el grado que ha alcanzado y las anomalías que presenta.
- Exploración perceptivo-motriz: esquema corporal, lateralidad, etc.
- Exploración espacio-temporal: se obtienen datos sobre posibles dificultades en la discriminación perceptiva y en la simetría derecha-izquierda, sobre la maduración viso-motora del niño.
- Estudio de la personalidad: proporciona una visión completa de toda la problemática del niño.
¿Cómo prevenir el fracaso?
No constituye solamente una estrategia de intervención, sino más bien toda una cultura que hay que llevar a la escuela. Para prevenir el fracaso escolar es necesario comprometer e implicar a padres, profesores y alumnos, para que conjuntamente tomen parte activa en la tarea educativa, cada uno a su nivel. Además, por ser múltiples las posibles causas de un fracaso escolar (sociales, políticas, económicas, familiares, educativas, psicológicas, pedagógicas, organizativas, etc.), las prevenciones también deben darse en todos estos sectores.
¿Cómo tratar el fracaso escolar?
Una amalgama de estrategias de intervención en el fracaso escolar puede ser considerada dentro de la llamada recuperación educativa. La recuperación educativa consiste en un programa de educación correctiva, que debe apoyarse en el supuesto de que cada niño es diferente, por lo que la enseñanza debe ser personalizada. El tratamiento pedagógico de recuperación educativa debe estimular, en fin, el deseo de aprender del niño y hacerle consciente de su progreso.
Los principios que rigen la aplicabilidad de la enseñanza correctiva son:
- El tratamiento debe estar basado en el diagnóstico.
- El tratamiento debe tener en consideración el sentimiento del propio valor del alumno.
- La enseñanza correctiva ha de ser individualizada.
- El programa correctivo debe ser estimulante y motivador.
- Los ejercicios y materiales deben seleccionarse cuidadosamente.
- El tratamiento debe tener en cuenta todas las circunstancias ambientales en que el niño se desenvuelve.
- El progreso del niño debe ser continuamente evaluado, para ser retroalimentado.
- Los métodos de enseñanza han de ser de probada eficacia.
As we know all of us are deferent so our needs are divergent. For children in primary parents are main role model so they should explore their talents or some lacks. In Poland in class is always around 30 pupils so it is make impossible to be able to know needs or interests of students. I that case only parents must assume the obligation of educator . Here we have other problem, in my opinion parents don’t have a time, they have to work to provide a decent standard of living, so in the same time children are without help, society of global village will pull them in and destroy their creativity and innocents.

El tema del fracaso escolar es muy importante porque de ello dependerá la evolución y futura formación del propio sujeto al que se vaya a tratar.
Desde mi perspectiva el fracaso escolar se debe no solo al mar resultado de notas que vaya obteniendo el alumnado a lo largo de su trayectoria educativa, sino que también a la influencia ejercida por la familia,el cómo reacciona ante el medio escolar,el cómo se integra en el grupo etc.
Para saber todo este tipo de datos habrá que analizar al niño/a tanto a nivel mental,exploración del lenguaje,estudiar su personalidad etc.
Pienso y soy partidario de ello,de que,para que el fracaso escolar disminuya hay que analizar cada caso muy detalladamente,y que cada niño es diferente,por lo que la enseñanza debe ser personalizada.
De primcipio,la palabra,fracaso escolar tiene un sonido y significado desagradable,y más,cuando se usa para calificar a unos niños,que apenas han empezado a socializarse,de fracasados.El fracaso escolar es una cuestión,que se debe estudiar con mucho cuidado y detenimiento,sobre todo porque los afectados son niños,y el sistema educativo es diseñado e impartido por adultos,que en muchos casos se han olvidado de cuando ellos eran niños,y lo mismo que los adultos somos disferentes unos de otros,los niños también lo son,por lo tanto yo pienso,que es muy cruel exigirles que todos tengan igual rendimiento ante los estudios.Yo creo que la prevención es la herramienta más eficaz contra el fracaso escolar,para ello los padres junto con los educadores deben de cuidar de percivirlo a tiempo para que no ocurra(ese fracaso escolar),algunos educadores(no todos)deberían de concienciarse de que los niños tienen su carga de valores y sentimientos,y según como se les trate se les puede hacer un daño irreversible.
I think paretns’ role is the foremost influential in discovering child’s talents. As stated in the article, it really is important to know what child is good or bad at. It’s hard for teachers to know every students’ talent ( usually there are at least over 15 students in one class). I don’t know much about other countries’ educational system, but in South Korea, there are usually at least over 30 students in one class (from Primary to Secondary). Of course, it’s not about all teachers, but under the current educational system, it seems to be difficult. So, in my opinion, the parents role are primary, and the education system should be followed.

In my opinion the problem of school failure is the more important nowadays than before. A lot of kids are struggling with it. In my opinion this is due to the large computerization of society. Computers have replaced communication between people. The second really important cause is less time which parents devote to children. They are working a lot, and thinking just about ensure the material well-being, and children do not devote much time to children who have the same deal with the problems.
Karolina Gozdur
Desde mi punto de vista el fracaso escolar se debería combatir principalmente trabajando conjuntamente entre los educadores y la familia del alumno en cuestión.
El fracaso escolar está siendo un tema muy frágil en España, ya que en el están involucrados muchos sectores, incluidos profesores padres y en general todo el entorno del alumno. Habría que tratar en especial las dificultades del alumno y sobretodo motivarlo para que ese problema no valla en incremento.
El fracaso escolar es un tema muy delicado. y hay que saber tratarlo, pues muchas personas piensan hoy en dia que no es un tema muy importante. Para mi el fracaso escolar como dice el articulo deberia tratarse desde el interior, desde los padres hasta la escuela, y el entorno del chico/a. deberia prevenirse desde el principio desde el comienzo del ciclo de estudio de los niños. porque como dicen mas vale prevenir que curar.
El fracaso escolar en mi opinión es un tema por el que deberíamos de interesarnos muchísimo ya que se dan muchos casos de este tipo y sobre todo en España. Desde mi punto de vista en este fracaso interviene tanto el propio niño como los padres, los profesores y todas aquellas personas que rodean el entorno del niño. Por tanto la responsabilidad de que este fracaso no se lleve a cabo es de todo el espacio que lo rodea. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo en que en el tratamiento de dicho fracaso se tengan en cuenta las circunstancias propias del mismo individuo, permitiendo esto dar un trato mejor y más apropiado a cada persona.
Desde mi punto de vista, estoy de acuerdo con lo expresado en el artículo, ya que pienso que el fracaso escolar no es solo causa de un único grupo (o bien culpamos a los padres por no involucrarse en la enseñanza de sus hijos; a los niños por no querer estudiar; a los profesores por no informar a los padres….)Yo pienso que el fracaso escolar como se dice en el articulo hay que tratarlo entre todos, el primer paso es que los padres se involucren en la educacion de sus hijos, fomenten a los niños a estudiar, y que los profesores esten en continúo contacto con los padres y ayudar a la motivacion de los niños. En cuanto al tratamiento del fracaso escolar habria que intentar evitar tener que poner un tratamiento y hacer que este no se dé.
Each child is different – this is a sentence what really kept in my mind. How can we know the each chid is different? And in what aspect? It is natural that every child is different but it is hard to find it out the aspect of their difference. When the kids are starting their school in the age of 7 the parents should have an idea about what strenghts and the weeknesses of the kid. But on the other hand the school should have better system of putting kids in the same class with the similar strenghts to avoid to have radical problems after some years in the same class, for example a failure of a kid. So I think there should be a better and more successful examination before the kids start the school.
Gábor Újhelyi
I completely agree with the fact that many factors has a influence the development of the child. Teachers and parents from the beginning should notice interest of the child . The teacher should be able to see the differences between the children, each of them is different, one requires more work with the teacher and the parents and second less. If from the beginning we’ll see the most important skills of our child in the future will be easier for him to develop them.
Bajo mi punto de vista el fracaso escolar depende de un conjunto de cosas y no solo del alumno, sin embargo las principales son tanto de la capacidad del alumnado, como la forma de enseñar que hay en las escuelas y la enseñanza que le dan los padres.
Una de las más importantes puede ser la forma de enseñar, ya que hoy en día la sociedad ha evolucionado y cambiado muchísimo sin embargo la enseñanza que se imparte en las clases sigue siendo prácticamente igual a la que había antiguamente, aunque con una diferencia muy significativa: la falta de respeto a los profesores. Esto viene dado por la educación que los padres hayan dado a sus hijos, lo que hace que este punto sea uno de los más influentes para que la educación pueda seguir su curso. Como consecuencia de todo esto el niño se verá influido y dependiendo de su capacidad de atención y concentración, será capaz de superar esta situación o se verá sumergido en el fracaso escolar.
Finalmente concluyo a favor del texto, que al igual que hay varios factores que afectan al fracaso escolar la forma de solucionar este problema debe abordar todos estos casos, y ser individualizada para cada alumno ya que no hay dos iguales.
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con el texto sobre el tema del fracaso escolar, y con las pautas que se dan en él para conocer las consecuencias de porqué el niño ha llegado a ese punto. Le recomendaría el texto a muchas personas que piensan que los niños que no llegan a terminar los estudios obligatorios, son niños que no quieren estudiar, porque no se paran a pensar qué hay detrás de ese niño para que eso ocurra y cuáles son las causas y los factores, que pueden ser de diversa índole, que desencadenan esa situación. Como todos sabemos la cifra de fracasos escolares en España son impactantes, ya que se trata de una cifra altísima.
También he de reconocer que veo una difícil tarea cambiar los pensamientos de un niño/a que ha decidido dejar de estudiar, ya que es una tarea en la que debe haber un consenso entre los núcleos que lo/a rodean, y que normalmente a esas edades tendemos a ser muy rebeldes y llevar la contraria en todo. A pesar de esto lo veo un tema bastante preocupante ya que tal y como está hoy por hoy el mundo una persona sin unos estudios mínimos “no es nadie en la vida”, y creo que debemos intentar reducir esos porcentajes al mínimo.
Estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que dice el texto, y veo bien las pautas que da a seguir.
Lo que mas resaltaría del texto sería “comprometer e implicar a padres, profesores y alumnos” porque pienso que muchos de los problemas por los que se da el fracaso escolar, viene dado por los problemas y circunstancias que el alumno/a tiene en su entorno familiar y también por problemas que tenga en el aula. Para intentar darle una solución a estos problemas, creo, que los tutores legales y los profesores del alumno/a deberían tener un mayor contacto y intentar buscar una solución conjunta, como bien dice el texto, y si fuera necesario con ayuda de otro tipo de profesionales como psicólogos. Pienso que los padres y profesores tienen muy poco contacto, por lo tanto, educan y enseñan por separado, cuando debería ser algo conjunto, también pienso que al tener el mínimo contacto, ninguna de ambas partes están enteradas con certeza y en su totalidad de la situación y circunstancias en la que se encuentra en cada ámbito.
En el texto se trata un tema actual y pienso que es de verdadero interés para nuestra sociedad. Como bien se refleja en el texto, para este tipo de problemas hay que analizar los elementos que intervienen en el proceso educativo y su evidente falta de conexión, plasmadas en las endémicas tasas de fracaso escolar y en la escasa implicación de las autoridades educativas, esto quiere decir que no sólo tiene que ver con el alunado, sino también con el sistema educativo, no se da siempre el caso, pero al ser múltiples las causas deben mirarse todos los factores para poder prevenirlo o, si ya es el caso poder solucionarlo, las causas pueden ser sociales, políticas, económicas, familiares, psicológicas, pedagógicas, organizativas…
Personalmente creo que son factores que deben implicarse tanto o más que el alumno y sus padres, para facilitar algo más el acceso a la educación, ya no sólo con factores económicos sino también en la motivación del niño.

Una vez leído y entendido el texto, creo que existe otra causa importante con respecto al fracaso escolar. Me refiero al mercado de trabajo,hace algunos años los niños/as de 14 años hacia adelante abandonaban la escuela porque era fácil acceder a puestos de trabajo sin titulación alguna. El ejemplo más claro es el de la construcción, como tareas del campo… Aunque aquí me este refiriendo mas al abandono escolar que al fracaso escolar creo que esta causa tiene relación con este dos aspectos. Desde mi punto de vista las causas que originan el fracaso escolar son: -Propias del estudiante; ya sea porque tenga necesidades especiales de entendimiento con respecto el nivel de conocimiento de sus compañeros, y/o por falta de motivación del estudiante. -Propias del profesor; utilizando métodos didácticos no válidos. -Debido a factores económicos. -Debido al clima escolar. Y como causas extra-escolares: -La Familia, como bien explica el texto. -Y resalto el tema de Mercado de Trabajo, ya que existen puestos de trabajo para jóvenes sin necesidad de titulación.
Pienso que este artículo trata un tema de gran interés, en especial para el grado en el que nos encontramos. Estoy de acuerdo en las pautas que se dan a seguir para prevenirlo o tratar de corregirlo.
Al igual que muchos de mis compañeros pienso que es un problema que los padres tratan de cargar solo al equipo docente, mientras que desde mi punto de vista esa responsabilidad es un trabajo de ambas partes, padres y equipo docente. Quizás si ambos asumieran dicha responsabilidad sería más fácil crear en el niño esa motivación y esas ganas de seguir aprendiendo.
Este artículo me ha parecido muy interesante puesto que, como educadora social que quiero ser me enfrentaré en muchas ocasiones a estos casos, como el fracaso escolar que hoy en día esta muy presente, y para poder hacer una buena intervención deberé conocer las medidas y los pasos que hay que seguir.
Para realizar cualquier intervención siempre hay que hacer previamente un diagnóstico acompañado de un programa de intervención para poder resolver dicho problema sin olvidar que las variantes a este problemas puede ser múltiples.
It is impossible to make an education system equal for everyone. As it’s said in the article, each student is different. The goal that education must reach is to put students with the same knowledge together and help others to improve their knowledge. If there is a classroom with people with totally different needs it is impossible for teacher to give the same attention for every student.
In Slovenia for example we have a system in primary school which divides students in different groups, according to their needs and knowledge. They have still some courses together and they are still schoolmates, they are only separated for more important courses like English, Math’s…Every student can make progression in higher level if the teacher approves it. This system was made for students who find difficulties in learning and on another side also for students who are more capable to learn. In this case students can get more attention and they can easily show themselves. And like all systems also this one brings some problems. Here are also parents who are angry that their child must be in lower level and everyone can see that their child has some problems in learning. So at this fact I am again agreed with the article that says that for the progression is needed cooperation between all participants in this circle (parents, children, teachers…).
Barbara Podržaj
I must agree that cooperation during education process among students, teachers and parents must be much wider, it will give many profits for everyone. I also think that making interview of children, who are starting education and consecutive levels, in respect of many aspects give opportunity to organise curriculum more individual, but we cannot go from one extreme to another with individualism in education, because I think that is also important to teach how to teamwork and behave in group, society during education process.
Bartosz Mierzejewski
This article is very interesting. It presents points that have been around for a very long time. Education can fail but how do we find a solution to it? If things were that simple then we would not have this issue.
If a teacher has between 20 and 30 students in their classroom then it is harder for them to take care of each student. This is completely unfair if there is a child in the classroom who cannot preform as well as the other children. The child will loose interest in class or start to believe that they are not clever enough. This is a shame because if one diagnosis was made then it would change the perspective of the child. They could use different study techniques. But sometimes it is hard for the teacher to pick up on these things. I am not excusing this-it needs to change. It is also the role of the parents to make sure they understand what is going on and to encourage extra support.
While doing placement a few months ago in Ireland, I was placed in the Learning Support unit. It was an interesting experience as I noticed that many of the children there where ashamed of their learning difficulties. With that block there, they didn’t want to accept that they had problems with english, maths etc, so it made it harder to teach. There needs to be a better understanding of learning difficulties, certainly in Ireland. Saying that, Ireland has come along way today. Before if a child had dyslexia then they where just seen as stupid and left in the back of the class. It is thanks to teaching boards, rules and regulations that this idea has changed, however there is still a long way to go.
Catherine Burns
En mi opinión el fracaso escolar es un tema muy amplio, del cual no se ha llegado hasta el final para ver cuales son los verdaderos puntos que influyen en ellos.
Por otro lado no todos los alumnos son iguales ni tampoco los profesores, así que creo que no debe haber un patrón de como solucionar este problema en general, mas bien tendría que haber un procedimiento individual.
Es muy importante que para prevenir el fracaso escolar intervenga la familia del alumno padres, abuelos… y por supuesto la cultura.
Nowadays many people are faced with challenges in achieving its objectives. In the school are important both, teachers and students. Diagnostic testing is an important tool for educators who want to know where their students are academically in order to bring those students to where they need to be. If they want that students to move forward, the teacher have to identify where they have started; diagnostic testing is the way to do this.
Teachers can now use many different methods of learning, according to the needs of students. My opinion is that it is very important what methods a teacher uses, because the impact on the student, in his subsequent perception and thinking. Many children are in school faced with failure, which can be very negative impact on its further development. It is very important that parents throughout the year, accompanied otrokovno behavior and school work.
A teacher uses a diagnostic test to assess her students’ strengths and weaknesses in her subject area. It shows her how much they know about her subject and also how much more they still need to know before they leave her class.
It is very important that teachers approach to motivate children,especially in the case of children with some disabilities. Teachers should pay more attention to them, not only focus on best pupils.
In general, my opinion is that all students need more attention in primary and secondary school.

I believe that the diagnosis of individual schools is very impoatant. The government of each country should look into why certain schools have a higher failure rate over others.
I believe that teachers should have the training done in order to be able to see the first signs of intellectual disabilities e.g. dyslexia so that the child will be able to get the help he/she needs.
I also agree with the article when it said that in order to avoid failure, the parents, teachers etc. should be involved. I believe that it is very important for the parents to be involved so that the children get the support from home as well as school. I believe that this would greatly decrease the level of failure. I know that in Ireland anyway the schools have parent teacher meetings once a year. I think that their should be more of the meeting so that the parents will find out more of how their children are getting on so that the support can be given at home.
Resulta impactante la tasa de abandono escolar en nuestro país. Cada vez hay menos jóvenes que completan el ciclo de educación obligatoria. Como bien destacas, las características familiares, escolares e individuales del niño son determinantes en su evolución académica. En este país, el sistema educativo llevado a cabo hoy día sin duda no es el más correcto bajo mi punto de vista. Creo que no se le pone demasiado interés, en general, a ninguno de estos aspectos durante la etapa de estudiante del niño/a, más bien, se incide en ellos como último motivo cuando los resultados del niño son demasiado evidentes y se utiliza como medida castigadora al alumno; entonces se llama a los padres para comentarles delante de su hijo lo mal que va y, de igual forma, en la clase, delante de todos los compañeros se le destaca por los aspectos negativos: por no hacer los deberes, por sacar malas notas, etc. La verdad, es que creo que eso lo único que hace es el efecto adverso: que el niño se desmotive y no quiera ir a clase, “añadirle dificultades como se dice al principio de este artículo”. El seguimiento de estos aspectos debería ser más continuo, y no exclusivo de los malos resultados. No creo que las medidas correctivas que imperan en la mayoría de los centros escolares basadas en el “castigo negativo” (copia un montón de veces esta frase, quédate sin recreo, si no apruebas repites curso, etc.) sean las más acertadas. Hay que despertar la curiosidad de los más pequeños, los padres deben hablarle sobre lo útil que es saber todo lo que se enseña en la escuela, los profesores deben explicar de forma que capen su atención (no se trata de dar en el curso 24 temas y que los alumnos lo aprendan de memoria para el examen y luego ni se acuerden, sino de que comprendan y se interesen por lo que se explica, aunque el volumen material sea menor, después lo aprendido por parte de los alumnos será mucho mayor). En mi opinión, el fracaso escolar es un serio problema que debemos de erradicar en España, y, hablar sobre todo esto, exponer opiniones y propuestas de mejora, y abrir un poco los ojos sobre la realidad de nuestra educación “formal” actualmente, creo que es un paso que puede ayudar en este tema.
It is true that school education fails sometimes, but we have to look behind the basis to figure out where the failiure comes from.
There are a often a lot of other influences which are responsible for this failure. For example parents, relatives, friends, but also teachers.
It’s so important to respect their personal belongings and singularity, to be able to offer the pupils only the best.
For me as a teacher-to-be , I know that teachers are the key personality, not less than parents and friend. Because they are able to help the pupils with their problems all day. They should try the best they can, to make a confident atmosphere possible and teach to respect all personality
Patrizia Sonnek
I definitely agree with the statement that school failure is not only caused by one element and that it is a topic with controversy.
Most of the time, teachers are made responsible for any type of school failure and I think that this is not fair. Of course teachers play an important role but there are many other elements that influence the quality of a school system.
I also think that it is important to consider different phases in order to prevent failure.
Of course there is a long way until an improvement can be achieved but at least it should be tried in future.
Sarah Kloiber
El tema expuesto en el texto me parece de vital importancia y muy actual. Ya que cada vez se estan dando un mayor número de casos y en edades más tempranas. Bajo mi opinión pienso que este problema como bien dice el texto ha de ser estudiado minuciosa e individualmente tratando de estimularlo y asin corregir los comportamientos de los alumnos.Esta correción deberá ser tratada bajo el docente y apoyada por la familia de dicho alumno.
In this article Jose Manuel Bautista Vallejo make some interesting theories about school failures. He says that study of school defeats always should be supported by careful diagnosis and I can agree with this opinion. He also writes about how to prevent failure and as an example he gives parents and teachers engagement. I also agree with his thought that dealing with school failures should be based on the assumption that every child is different.
Michał Szmyd
El tema del fracaso escolar me parece muy interesante y, como dice el texto, muy difícil de prevenir. En general comparto mi opinión con lo expuesto, comparto la idea de que una de las principales causas de este fracaso sea la falta de motivación del alumnado. Otra causa que considero importante y que no se refleja en el texto, es la materia impartida en los centros escolares, en mi opinión deberían adecuarse más los contenidos. También debería de haber una mayor implicación por parte del profesorado, no limitarse solo al horario de clases, sino que se las prepare y las evalúe, que sean clases originales y cercanas a los niños. Para terminar haré mención a los padres, creo que en la actualidad sobreprotegen a sus hijos y limitan así la actuación del profesorado.
Bajo mi punto de vista el “Fracaso Escolar” es debido a muchas cinrcunstancias.
Ante todo quiero decir que si tiene que ver un poco con la educación que le de los padres,de la importancia que tenga para ellos la educacion de sus hijos,la educacion se basa en muchos aspectos y no solo familiar (que es importante y muchos de estos niños lo tienen) sino tambien escolar (a la falta de atencion y poco tiempo libre por parte de los padres).
Tambien puede ser debido por desmotivacion del alumno, hay situaciones de que el niño obtiene todo lo mencionado anteriormente (educacion y dedicacion de sus padres) pero no es capaz de seguir sus estudios por no tener el coeficiente y no poder.
En cuanto al sistema educativo pienso que no es igual que el de hace 15 años atras. Hay contenidos que pienso que no es necesario aprender y en cuanto al profesorado no es el mismo. Otro de los aspectos que veo muy importante es la escasa edad de la incorporacion de la EPO a la ESO.
Como experiencia de estar trabajando con niños absentistas uno de los problemas que hace que haya mas fracaso escolar es debido a ese aspecto, ya que para ell@s es un cambio radical y indirectamente les perjudica.
Throughout the nation failure is a highly common factor within everyday life. Even though failure within the education system is regarded as more of a problem than general failure in everyday life, it is important for one to grow from these experiences. I think this is particularly applicable in relation to Ireland and the Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate.People nearly take failure in these examinations too seriously. That is why I personally believe that observing and investigating the different aspects and contributions of failure as important in order for one to overcome this perception of failure. Although failure can be perceived as a negative outcome of the learning process I think it can also be noted as a stepping stone or an advance in the direction of genuine understanding. As much as failure is a problem I personally believe correction and explanation are arguably an advantageous aspect of the over all learning process.
Triona Ní Chualáin.
En primer lugar, decir que, estoy totalmente de acuerdo con el texto ya que refleja todos las observaciones que han ido plasmando sobre el fracaso escolar. Además, son unas observaciones que veo generalmente ciertas. La mayoria de los niños no fracasan en la escuela porque sean mas torpe que nadie ni porque el decidan de tan joven trabajar, simplemente puede ser que el nivel adquirido en la escuela no sea el adecuado para el joven, y por este motivo, debemos conocer todas las circunstancias que rodean al niño, tanto familiares, educativas, nivel de inteligencia…Hay que saber llevar a los menores y no exponer un temario sin saber si se están enterando y si de ello están aprendiendo. Pero antes que todo ello, debemos tener un apoyo educativo en casa para que el niño vaya adquiriendo unas capacidaddes educativas.
In my opinion, school failure appear very often. The behavior of teachers and teaching methods are very important. Nowadays, it is not easy to be a good teacher. The class is a lot of students (30 - 35 students) and the teacher does not take care of each student individually. The teacher must find a good way of teaching to fit it to all students in the classroom.
I think it’s very hard work and requires a lot of pedagogical knowledge and experience.
Ewa Buraczynek
El fracaso escolar es un tema actual, hay una generación perdida (las que prefirieron trabajar en la construcción a estudiar) que, digamoslo asi “abrio la veda” hacia el abandono escolar. Cierto es que dicho “problema” ya existia.
La participacion paterna la considero de vital importacia junto con una instrucción lo mas personalizada posible, no todos servimos para memorizar, otros funcionamos con trabajos, exposiciones……
Con respecto a los padres, delegan la mayor parte de responsabilidad a los profesores, no dando importancia a que por ejemplo l@s niñ@s hagan los deberes viendo la tele, no animarlos a leer, enseñarles a ver de alguna manera que tienen que poner de su parte, igual que los demás se esfuerzan por enseñarles a ellos.
El fracaso escolar somos todos, no pasemos más la pelota, no conseguiremos arreglar nada asi , al contrario, nos perjudicamos todos.
First of all, I get what you’re saying. But I find it hard to write an answer to this article, because I feel it’s not complete. I miss a correlation between the short introductory and the end.
After that is said, I have nothing else to say than I agree. School failure will always be an issue, and it should always be invented possible solutions to prevent it from happening. Each pupil is different and some need extra attention, or other ways of learning than the education system demands. And as the article says, parents; teachers and students should get involved to prevent school failure. Communication is essential.
Ina Catrin Hestnes
I agree that school failures happen when there is no communication between educational staff and parents/students. I believe that it can only be prevented in the private schools, as students and their parents engage in more school and after school activities together. Regarding to the public schools there are too many students and too little staff and the lack of will to prevent these failures. And even if something is being done, it is usually not apreciated.
Reda Gedutyte
In my opinion the “failure” issue aquires few matters. First of all it’s not only a failure in school, but such in his/her family life, the child when is facing the rpoblem of it’s incopetence has to deal it not only in the context of school. In his/her group of friends, in interpersonal contacts withs family members he/she needs to develop own strategies to deal with problems such as failure. On the other hand I’d like to point out the issue regarding to victory/success etc. There’s always responsibility on teacher’s as student’s shoulders for that how effective student is. Howerver the main interest of solving the problem should be on student’s. It’s easy to say that teacher is uneasy person, mean and so on, but it’s harder to try to overcome those difficulties and prove that even form a filure, we can find strength to learn how to not make that mistake again. Furthermore regarding to the article, the diagnossis should also content thestudent’s princile and his/her point of view on this problem and solutions. Parents can blame educational system for the failures of their children, if they don’t show any interest at home either. The family background is one of the strongest influencing systems that develop child’s skill in dealing with problems.
Mario Chadacz.
School failure is a very important issue, and I consider that a great deal of responsibility lies on teacher’s shoulders. Student’s successfulness and good progress 90% depends on teacher’s personal interest and deference to his/her pupils. It is important for a teacher not only to know his/her subject well, but also to be a very good psychologist and to find an individual approach to each student. For example, my brother after coming home from his first school day declared that he would never go there again; he was having hysterics every time our mother was escorting him to school, and it continued until our mother changed his school. Later, we found out that the reason for my brother’s inadequate behavior was his teacher.
Olga Khusnutdinova.
In my opinion failure is inevitable in every aspect of life. Failure in schools is no exception. Teachers, students and parents, they all can fail in various ways. Teachers can fail to prepare children for exams, while students can fail to be good students and finally parents can fail to be responsible guardians. And we should not be afraid of those failures, because we can learn from them and it will help us to develop further.
Siempre he considerado que la educación de los escolares tiene que ser conjunta entre los padres y los profesores.
En primaria y secundaria la enseñanza se divide en ciclos de dos cursos cada uno, en los que hay que conseguir unos objetivos. Se consideran alcanzados al final de cada ciclo y en la mayoría de los casos, para no separar al niño de su grupo y que no se sienta frustrado, se le va pasando de curso.
El no conseguir la titulación en ESO es un gran fracaso fracaso escolar, porque quiere decir que los objetivos marcados en el curriculum de esta enseñanza obligatoria no se han alcanzado siendo la menor titulación que se debe conseguir a nivel académico.
Las razones del fracaso escolar puede deberse a causas muy diversas como son: familiares, intelectuales, físicas e incluso, por tener un profesor de profesión y no de vocación, por lo que no sabe motivar al alumnado.
Tanto los padres como la comunidad educativa, en cuanto el niño comienza a no conseguir los objetivos de forma constante, tienen que valorar cual es el problema y que no se agudice porque sería más difícil solucionarlo.
Los niños son muy sensibles e inseguros y necesitan ser guiados por los adultos porque la televisión, internet, los videojuegos, los móviles y los amigos influyen en su conducta por lo que los responsables de su educación deben saber ponerles límites y eso en nuestra sociedad actual no se hace, porque es más cómodo que se entretengan y no den la “lata”.
Hay que analizar todas las circunstancias del fracaso escolar y valorar las capacidades del niño de manera individual, para poder adaptar la enseñanza y encontrar el método educativo adecuado a cada uno.
La labor del educador es buscar las causas del fracaso escolar y trabajando con otros profesionales, buscar las soluciones de manera individual y así conseguir que los niños desarrollen su potencial académico. Sé que esta solución sería algo más costosa que la que existe actualmente, pero en realidad ¿Quienes son el futuro? LOS NIÑOS, naturalmente De esta manera serán más felices aprendiendo y no se levantarán por la mañana diciendo “Jo que asco, otro día más que tengo que ir al colegio”.
A good, real education, starts in the family, and then continues thorough kinder garden, school, etc. One of the biggest problems existent in schools is the failure, and it is such a pity that those pupils don’t get another chance to finish what they couldn’t in the first place. For example, there could be school for these children, with a different type of teaching,more personalized and more flexible, to help them build a future and get a job. The principle cases of quitting school are economical, socio cultural, religious, psychological, or pedagogical.
Because all children are different, teaching methods should be a little different too. The teacher must identify first the following things: How one is- What one knows - What one does, and then - How one cooperates with the others. If the accent falls more on each children. In case the teacher notices that the kid is skipping classes for no reason, is not interested in learning, then one should tighten the relationship with the family, should discuss about it and see if there is something wrong, try to avoid school quitting. Prevention is better then fixing the problem.
The education system is always saw a defect but not that someone show error but because to remove it. While in Polish politics differently sometimes …
But I think the example of the Polish education system that would need to make a difference especially in cases of children who have problems with learning a variety of reasons, reasons that can sometimes be eliminated or mitigated. I think we should devote more time to children in the younger years of life where the most growing and it is easier to help him.
Implementation of various educational programs that encourage children to learn to help you learn a very good idea. Learning through play is also a good way. I agree with the opinion which says to improve the situation, must work together parents, teachers and students. When one of these links will not disappoint progress.

En la escuela, existen diversidades de niños, de personalidades, de diferentes metas, distintos conocimientos, diferentes capacidades.. Por ello, se debería de agrupar a los niños basándose en sus niveles intelectuales, para no atrasar a los que van a avanzados, por ir más lentos por ejemplo los profesores en sus explicaciones o que los profesores vayan mas rápido y se atrasen los menos cualificados. Pero esto, es algo complicado, porque como he dicho anteriormente hay mucha diversidad de niños, pero por otra parte; se podría dar clases extras, tutorías, para que pudiesen ir avanzando. Este trabajo también sería por parte de los padres, que en casa, insistieran y los ayudasen a trabajar , ya que los menos cualificados necesitan más horas de trabajos.
Comparto la idea de una educación personalizada, ya que cada alumno tiene un nivel de comprensión más elevado que otros e incluso más ganas de aprender que otros alumnos, pero en la escuela no se puede ofertar (me refiero en el aula) una educación personalizada, ya que se necesitaría agrupar a los alumnos dependiendo de sus capacidades y no se pueden “discriminar” a niños por la capacidad intelectual que tengan, la solución más coherente sería implicar a los padres en la educación de sus hijos, haciendo tutorías con más frecuencia y así poder comentarle a los progenitores que pautas deben seguir en casa para que el niño se sienta motivado y evolucione adecuadamente en la escuela y no sienta la necesidad de abandonar los estudios, sino de continuar, gracias también al apoyo de sus padres.
To me it seems really important to remember, that each of students is different. Each of them has hers or his own ways to learn ( for some- it’s easier to learn by listening, for others it’s better if they use images etc..) . Also, all of us we have more life than just school- and it can affect the process of learning and studying. I think teachers have to be demanding but at the same time understanding. the other theory that i heard a couple of times is that a teacher should never trust a student because the second one is inventing 90% of hers or his excuses for not doing homework or being absent on the class. But than come the students that have for example difficulties with adjusting to the other students- they find it hard to make friends, communicate with others. In my opinion it can really affect the abilities of students and teachers should care about all the “aspects” of people they teach. on the other hand it’s to hard and complicated care about 500 students- or even 30 of them!
There are a lot of aspects of the teaching and why sometimes teachers fail, to make the education system better we whould work them all out a little bit and, little by little make the whole thing work.

Comparto la idea d que cada niño es un mundo, osea, diferente; pero por ello a los niños que de por sí no muestran por ellos mismo interés por aprender, hay que saber tratarlos y cambiar métodos para que estos niños se muestren interesados por el aprender.
Y pienso que si esto algún día se logra, no tendría por que hacer fracaso escolar, dado que si el método convencional que se lleva acabo está fallando continuamente quizá y muy probable haya algun o algunos otros mucho mas dinámicos y atractivos para ellos;yo creo que de cada tema teórico que se les da, habría que partir el tiempo entre algo teorico y práctico por que los niños cuando hay algo que les aburre pierden la atención.

En mi opinión al texto, creo que es muy específico con respecto a que existe un diagnóstico, una prevención, etc… pero no habla de si verdaderamente esto se cumple o no, de si estos diagnósticos se realizan cuando es debido y no más tarde o de si verdaderamente existe la prevención o se saltan los síntomas. Además existe una fuerte intervención de la política en la educación, provocando, con los cambios de partido, una confusión, pues en 4 años pasan de unos contenidos y un tipo de currículum a otro distinto.

Tras acabar de leer el artículo, podemos observar que el fracaso escolar es provocado por varios factores como son el entorno, escuela, familia, amigos, etc. Además, podemos añadir que los padres en ocasiones deberían de estar pendientes de sus hijos y hacer que estos lleven sus trabajos y estudios al día. Pero no siempre se le puede “echar la culpa” a los demás sino que no todos los alumnos se atreven a seguir una misma forma de aprendizaje por lo que cuando se detecta un problema de éste tipo debería ser corregido.

Failure is something normal, if someone never failed in some discipline or so, it means that he never tried something new. Progress and development of new approaches is really important in learning improving process. Times changed and school should be a living, learning organism with every part of it being healthy. School organism in my opinion consist of teachers, students, parents and above it all educational department of government. Each of these part should be healthy and cooperating with each other to make the organism grow healthy and improving. Teachers should have in mind the good of their pupils future and help them to achieve their goals (whether it is being policeman, sportsman or salesman), students should respect their teachers and be thankful for effort which they make to pass down their knowledge. Parents should be a support for their children as well as theirs teachers and above it all government should try to give schools the best tools and help they can possibly get. For me this is the solution for a healthy school organism with prospects of further development.
Jolanta Kindler
School failure is a complicated international issue, which all educational systems are facing. It is difficult to define what exactly school failure is, particulary in relation to the individual student. Contemporary educational thought recognises multiple intelligences and different potential abilities, therefore how can the teacher pin-point failure in their class accuratley? Is not performing well academically? Not fitting in well socially? A lack of interest generally? It is here that I agree with the article that all areas of the student´s personal life must be taken into account, (i.e. social-economic background etc.), when diagnosing and searching for a solution. The comment; “… It is not only a strategy of intervention, but rather any culture to take to a school”, struck me very strongly whilst reading this piece. So often the diagnosis and intervention towards failure is one-dimensional, as in it is only addressed inside the school, and in realtion to perfoming well academically, we shy away from the deeper issues. Also the responsibility for the remedy falls heavily upon the teacher, whom may not always be correct, due to the pressures of the system and given guidelines to follow. It is here that I believe it relevant to highlight this piece of information;
“John Lennon ´s school report read; Hopeless. Certainly on the road to failure!”.
CERTAINTLY NOT!
Laura Canavan
School failures can happen as a result of a number of problems i.e., the lack of understanding of the educational curriculum, the lack of communication between teachers and parents as well as not realising a child’s capability level to learn.
Each child has a different level of learning and it is important that it is recognised at an early age so that the child can reach their highest potential as they advance through school. In order for each individual’s level to be taught accordingly schools must have a significant understanding of how this is best achieved therefore adapting well to changes that have been made to the curriculum i.e. teaching techniques such as learning through play etc. Supportive links between parents and teachers provide a great contribution to a child’s education, as it indicates that it too is an important aspect of their lives.
Rachel McBride
Failure is all around us. We meet with it in our lives and in the lives of others. It is very important to learn how to live with it and get on.
The school as an educational institution should help young people with this problem.
It is definitely a mistake, when elementary school teacher tells the children “you better put your pillow against spanking does not hurt you” when they didn’t receive good report. Thus, the fear of failure just relationship is getting worse and even the whole school and learning.
Tomáš Bláha
Failure at school is a common problem throughout Ireland and other countries I am sure. The only way to over come this problem is to evaluate these children entering primary school and play school to see their level of learning for example language, interaction with other students and their ability of work. These children that are neglected at a young age will always be left behind in the higher classes like sixth and fifth. To counteract this occurring the learning support should be adatped for each child and provided as necessary by each school. Therefore if these activities and the school learning is made understanable and easier for these deproved students they will se improvements for the future. This is very important to see a prevention in failure in schools.
Aine Mc Namara
For me school’s failure is when the school is not preparing correctly student for the employee market. People go to the universities to gain necessary knowledge which will help them to get a better job in the future. In Poland many people at the end of their studies realize that knowledge which they gained is too broad and the key to be good at something is specialization. I will explain it on the example of a RPG game (Diablo 3 will be released next month, so maybe that’s why I have chosen this example
). If you want to be a good knight, you have to add almost every experience point to the knightly skills (fighting with a sword, using shield, stamina, etc.) and if you want to be a good magician you have to add those points to the magic skills (power of spells, speed of casting them, etc.). You have to do it consequently because if you will be adding some points here and some points there you will not become a good knight nor a good magician. I use this example because life is pretty the same, if you want to be a good programmer you have to learn programming languages, probably choose one and completely explore the possibilities of it in practice. If you want to be a good marketing specialist now you have to gain knowledge of social media areas, for example be familiar with e-commerce tools and know how to use them. The schools should provide more specialized knowledge instead of the broad one and it that way people who graduate will become specialist for their employers.
In my opinion the mission of schools is to help students achieve their goals and if someone want to be a programmer in the future the school should provide him with all the knowledge and tools he needs including subjects lectured by teachers with experience, knowledge and passion to pass it to their students. If some students have problems studying a particular subject - school should organize for such people extra classes (something like recovery program) and if he would like to test his knowledge in practice school should help him to get an internship. For me this is the way to achieve school and students goal together with advantages for both (without failures).
Failures in schools are normal things, it always happens. Nobody can avoid it, because we are just people, not machines. But teacher has very responsible task - be a good psychologist. Any chlidren’s fail can be the reason of breakdown and of stop learning because of it.. Teachers have to try manipulate children a little. Even if pupils don’t do everything well, teachers have to support them. Then pupils education goes in good direction. It’s very important not to tell children they are doing something wrong even if their work isn’t ideal. Failures will always happen but it can never be the reason of children sadness and breakdown. As i wrote teacher has to be a good psychologist.
Przemysław Ciastoń
I think that the main reason for school failure is that the most of education systems are bad. But also there are a lot of others factors like demotivation of students, parents and of course differences between students. In my opinion adjustment to each individual student will not be a good solution, because this will be too difficult for teachers and for all system. We have to find some system that all the students can adjusted to. In this system also have to be included parents for cooperation with their children and also with teacher. But for students which have a lot of problems with learning or specially for students with special needs I think will be better to have some special system that it will be easier for them. I think that the best systems are on the north of Europe so it will be good to prepare something similar not like in my country (Slovenia) where they started with some new system for primary school a few years ago but I think that they will change this system in the future. But I think that this continuously changes are too stressful for students.
Ines Petelin
Una vez acabado de leer el artículo, opino que la parte docente no debe ser la única involucrada. Sin embargo, parto de la base de que el mayor problema del fracaso escolar es la desmotivación, ya sea por el equipo docente como de los niños/as.
En mi opinión creo que los docentes deben de estimular,animar, promover y motivar ideas y técnicas nuevas para que los alumnos muestren atención por esas asignaturas,ya que pienso que lo que importa ahora es memorizar la lección de “pe a pa” para el aprobado (o ni eso) sin llegar realmente a aprender y asimilar los conceptos.
Como he dicho antes, no solo involucro a docentes, por su puesto la familia debe de colaborar en que sus hijos tengan ilusión por aprender y que les ayuden en los máximo posible para poder adquirir los objetivos.
Un saludo.
Ana López
This is a very interesting article because it is almost the same in Sweden. It makes me think of the Swedish curriculum and the goals the pupils have to achieve and the goals the pupils have to aim for.
The goals to achieve are the most common once because they are well explained. The goals to aim for are self interpretating and many teachers in Sweden find it difficult to interpretate what is expected of them and the pupils.
Many Swedish teachers have written articles about the Swedish curriculum, because children with writing and reading difficulties are not reaching the achievement goals. They are saying that if we were to work with the goals to aim for the children with difficulties wouldn’t have the pressure in achieving serten goals. The children could work with the higher goals the goals to aim for and could work in their own pace. This way the pupils won’t fail in achieving the specific goals but still working with the curriculums goals to aim for.
Madelene Gundersen
Tras haber acabado de leer el artículo podemos ver como es un problema que encontramos en nuestra sociedad pasada, actual y que si no le buscamos remedio lo será del futuro, ya que va en aumento. Podemos considerar que el fracaso escolar no es solo de los jóvenes, también influyen varios factores como por ejemplo los docentes, debido a que hay muchos que no le muestran a sus alumnos interés por la asignatura, haciendo que los alumnos decidan abandonar asignaturas. No solo es importante en el fracaso escolar sea de los profesores y alumnos, también influyen la educación es casa, la atención, la motivación, todo por parte de la familia que es un pilar también muy importante.
Así estoy de acuerdo en estudiar los casos individualmente para que si no se resuelve al 100% el problema, al menos se resuelva lo máximo posible.
Un saludo.
Gema Rodríguez Márquez. 1ºEducación Social (T2).
School failure is a complex and difficult issue. One of the striking references made in this article is the term “personal handicaps”. This stresses that the individual student’s ability is just one area to be addressed and for school failure to be reduced, we need to look at the overall education system. However, even when an individual plan for each student is given there is still greater difficultly. The current economic climate has brought with us many hidden benefits such as multiculturalism- enabling us to educate ourselves about different culture and traditions. Yet, language barrier can prove a firm factor in school failure. Within my own disciplines Religious Studies and History I have clearly seen this with a student with poor literacy; their writing skills will lower their performance in every other subject, for example, Religious Studies, History, Geography and Science.
Furthermore, the article raises an excellent point in exploring the psycho-pedagogical element within education. By looking at the teaching level, educators need to have active learning methods. These methods need to be practical and let students come up with conclusions together, rather than simply hear the teachers answer. Also, by using practical methods you include those pupils who perhaps work better with a “hands-on” approach and as a result develop core skills that all students will need to be valuable members of society. For example, team work, communication, organizing and managing information. One example of an active learning technique is the “Hot Air Balloon” method. This is a valuable planning tool which allows students prior to beginning a project or any type of essay, to identify what they need and what they don’t. For example, if they were doing a project in History on Nazi Germany, students could discuss what they would need to include such as Nazi Germany’s aims, achievements etc. By doing this pupil’s become in charge of their own learning and subsequently feels a sense of pride with their work. (Please visit the website below to see the range of active learning techniques for teachers in Northern Ireland; it may give you some useful advice).
http://www.nicurriculum.org.uk/docs/key_stage_3/ALTM-KS3.pdf)
As noted before, it is impossible to mention pupil’s development without discussing the role of parents. Undoubtedly, parents are the core educators of their children; they reinforce all that is taught within schools. Thus, they must always be involved in their students learning.
Whilst I agree that student’s progress needs to be tested and monitored, the question is how will it be tested? Do we simply judge a pupil’s performance by selected tests? For example in the field of literacy, there are many students who have excellent oral communication skills and can confidently discuss their judgment and explain difficult concepts. Yet, these students may have great difficulty in their written communication skills and thus can we say they have a good level of literacy? Consequently, educators need to have a mix of testing techniques not simply an examination, rather practical activities to complement this.
Failure is all around on us on a regular basis but it is how we react to failure that determines whether success is feasible or not. Based on the article I believe that to achieve success in the education sector according to the standards set in place by the education councils or education boards then children need more attention in school from an early age (in real detail). This attention will unearth their strong areas and not as strong areas. Documentation on every child can then be put in place so as they take part in their further studies then their future educators are better equipped on how to educate and create success for these students. As a result standards should improve and this will satisfy the educating boards/councils. This idea however is a pipe dream and due to teachers being under equipped and under staffed in certain areas it is very difficult to dedicate this attention to the students without sacrificing some students as the work load could be too much. This article and topic is one that could be debated for hours.
Ronan Mc Anenly
That was very interesting, thanks Ronan!

In every school it is a challenge to meet the varied needs of every child. I feel the solution lies within the school. Teachers must accommodate and use every resource they have at their disposal to ensure the intended learning for each individual is achieved. The intended learning in the class will be, or should be, different for each child’s own learning capabilities. For differentiation on learning between children the teacher must work hard to find out what each child is capable of doing and set targets within that learning. If the teacher fails in this, school failure will follow.
Richard O’Callaghan
Estoy de acuerdo con el texto, el fracaso escolar no es provocado por un solo factor, sino que son varios y diferentes los que influyen en este abandono por parte de los chavales; el entorno y los grupos con los que el niño/a se relaciona son importantes, escuela, familia, amigos, etc.
En mi opinión uno de los factores más influyente es la desmotivación, en muchos casos tanto por parte del profesorado como del alumno; en todos los centros educativos por los que hemos pasado (o por lo menos en mi caso) nos hemos encontrado con profesores desmotivados al máximo que no animaban ni te hacían atrayente la asignatura, no sé si por cansancio, rutina o porque realmente no les gusta lo que hacen.
Con esto no quiero decir que la culpa sea únicamente de los docentes, como ya he dicho antes, también es muy importante la educación en casa, la atención, la preocupación por los estudios, la motivación, por parte de la familia.
Creo que si los casos no se estudian de manera individualizada, sería muy difícil eliminar totalmente el fracaso escolar.
Margarita Rangel
Failures in the school are not only the result of bad education system, neither they exist only because of the lack of adjustment of each student. I think that many of them are caused by parents. A lot of parents want that their child is the best one in the school, they imagine him as a successful in the future and they don’t want, or they can’t realize that this may make harder their child’s education because all the children are not equally capable or talented. They are putting an effort to direct their child on the way which they consider that is the best one for him. That’s not always good because some of them start to be under the pressure because they don’t want to dissapoint their parents and then a lot of strees which they are carrying on their backs can cause failures. So, maybe before all the other changes in education system start, parents should be informed how to allow to your child to be educated in an area in which he is interested and how to direct him in the best possible way to succeed in this. When parents realize their obligations, then “La recuperación educativa” can start with implementation because I think that it contains good ideas which could be realized step by step.
Laura Bortas
Tras haber leído el artículo, opino que el tema del fracaso escolar es un tema que está muy presente en la actualidad y el cual va aumentando.
Quizá el fracaso escolar venga de varios factores como pueden ser la falta de atención del alumno, la dejadez de los padres, ya que los padres a veces deberían estar un poco más encima de los hijos en cuanto a sus estudios y preocuparse un poco más de que lleven sus trabajos y tareas al día; también la poca motivación de los profesores ya que siempre usan la mismas técnicas para impartir clase, y eso aburre bastante al alumnado.
En lo que sí que estoy de acuerdo es en la personalización de la enseñanza de los alumnos, ya que cada uno es totalmente diferente a otro, por lo que no se puede pretender que toda una clase avance materia al mismo tiempo, ya que no todos captan las ideas de la misma manera ni del mismo modo.
Un saludo.
Celia Cortés Garzón, 1º ED.Social (Turno de tarde)
In primary school there are a lot of students mixed together, usually random or by alphabet. But that is not really effective. Students should be pre-tested and on account of their results separated into classes. In my class in primary school there was one boy that had some problems and he was attending the same classes as we, but studying by easier program. On one hand that was good for him because of socialization, but on the other hand it was hard for him to watch us solving much complicated material easier. And there was also a problem of abusing this boy. That was definitely not good for him, so that’s why I think that it would be much better if he was surrounded with students who had the same problems, so he could feel more confident and happier.
Mia Batinic
I think, this article very closely related to one we read for curriculum making. But, in my opinion, this article should be read first and then read the one for curriculum making.
This article talks about the failure of schools and how to prevent the failure. The answer is present in the other article. The theory of 3 logics should be appplied; i.e the teacher’s logic, the student’s logic and the subject’s logic…if those three logics will be followed, as I explained in the other comment of mine, than the failure of schools could be prevented.
Katarina Hurkalova
It is obvious from the outset that children learn in different ways, not every child is the same, so lessons should not be taught the same for each child. Most children will be able to take the teachers way of teaching and adapt it to suit them so they are able to learn for it, but it is important for teachers to be aware of those children who cannot adapt lessons for themselves, and may find it difficult to understand the lesson being taught. Every child is and individual who has their own unique way of learning, this is not a problem, but an advantage for teachers to embrace and explore more options for their teaching methods. It is also important that teachers do not take the task of finding out how each child learns upon themselves, from an early age parents are able to observe their children and how they learn. Therefore, it is important for parents and pupils to work with the teachers so they can help the pupil to the best of their ability, pupils can also play a larger part in how they are taught, if they feel they cant keep up they can speak to their parents or teacher about more one-on-one teaching time.
However I can see how some people may be of the view that it is impossible to evaluate every child individually and adapt their teaching style to suite very child. Most classes have around 25-30 pupils, if a teacher where to try and teach each pupil individually there would not be enough hours in the day. However , as I mentioned above, most pupils will learn in the same way, or be able to adapt what the teacher has taught into a way of their own so that they understand the topic, it is just the pupils who find it difficult to keep up and understand fully who would need the one-on-one evaluation and perhaps individual methods of teaching. This is perfectly possible within the classroom and would go a long way in helping prevent the failure of a school.
Noleen Mcguckian
It’s interesting and important that we investigate and look at different aspect when it comes to childrens’ diffrent ways of learning.
It’s important not to focus on problems but to look at opportunities instead. As you have written, every person is it’s own individual and have a individual way of learning.
This topic is well discussed in Sweden right now. On one side the debate is about including all student’s, regardless of their difficulties, and on the other side it’s about skipping the word inclusion and instead see that everyone is it’s own individual with different needs.
A good scientific article about how we use the word normality and how the word exclude people:

I am very interested in comment of Lydia and I realy agree. But the question how to act with childrens that are not able to keep up with other ones is so difficult. The one most beautiful thing of childhood for us adults is immediacy of childrens. But in other hand childrens are very nice to each others when they feel „normal“ but thay can be very rude and hard to others which are little bit different. And this is not question of parents and teachers, because who knows what are childrens doing when they are out of school in the group of their friends. Ofcourse gens, family and everything have the most important influence for them, but also in the best families can be some kind of problem. To separate them or not from childrens which are normal? It is very hard, but if the child needs more care, it is not possible to leave them in one class with „normal“ ones, because they need more time, more patient. I think, for them finaly can be more stressfull and degrading to be in group of childrens which are always better than if they are with friends which are in the same level. For them „normal“.
To be honest I am not sure whether I understand the article well because of translation. This schol failure may be understood as failure of school to provide sufficient and valueable information for life of student or the correct way is parsonal failure of student at school. Both forms are very common and represent alarming problems in contemporary society. I have studied at few school so I think I can say that most of the school do not fail. Teachers always try to provide good information, general overview of particular topics. And later it is up to every student whether he or she want to educate more and find more information. We live in the world when all the information is available and it will be never possible possible to know everything.
My second understanding is about personal failure of student who cannot cope with curriculum. As it is mentioned in the article also the teachers and parents are responsible. It should be mainly role of parents to watch their children and to take care of them. Teacher cannot be responsible for all pupils.
I really like the idea of Educational Recovery or personalised education when children are provided with individual care of teachers. Special schools are then needed but it will make up later for sure.
Erika Blazejova
Yes, I think that is a big Problem that a lot of pupil and students leave the school or university without a degree. We have to think about a good solution. I have read that in Vienne and the Styria there is a new pilot project. They want to test “youth coaches”. They want to help students to get more motivation and they want to help to find a perspective for their future. Teacher have to say wich students are endangered and have to make a list. Then the students can decide if they want any help or not. The youth coaches and social worker want to help them, for example with a weakness and strength analysis. It can takes time for one year. Maybe its a good idea. But if its really work, we will see after 2013.
Franziska Reinhardt
If teachers had time to find out and eliminate every student’s disability , evaluate learning style, or strength and then develope it, we could have only a passionate, intelligent students who know what they want to do in their lifes, but in my opinion it’s not possible. In my country each class contain 45 minutes with the group of more or less 35-40 pupils. Teachers don’t have a time to help everyone. The government doesn’t have so big amounts of money to invest in each individual, at least in my country. In that case very important is parental help, but even this is limitated because most of parents work almost whole day and they don’t have a sufficient amount of time to devote to study with their children. In my opinion parents should do their best to spend as much time with treir children as possible, and try to cooperate with the form-mater to find out together the problems child has to cope with and solve them and of course try to find and help to develope hidden talents of this kid.
Iwona Polonkiewicz
At every school both in Poland and around the world are students who are experiencing difficulties in learning, experiencing losses and they are turning away from the school. Such students often have difficulties with oneself and with environment to which they cannot accommodate themselves. All teaching failures are discouraging student to larn. In order to prevent failures at school, the child must have supporting from all possible sides. The main ones are, of course, teachers and family. In my opinion however parents are fulfilling the main role here, because they spend most time with the child and know them best. The role of parents is not just about giving “good advice”. Parents must teach children all the important life skills, to care about their, social, cultural and emotional development. Throught these factors, we can largely prevent school failure.

As it was mentioned in the article, to achieve success in education three parties should work closely together: students, teachers and parents. Due to the chronic lack of time, very often it is not possible. Parents dropping their children’s education accountability for teachers, parents and teachers are accused of neglecting and taking too little time to their child. And rather than come to an agreement on this issue they are fighting. And the most wronged in this situation is a child who really do not know who should be paid with their problems and needs. I should also add that to overcome the failures of the student’s observation is required from parents and teachers. Often it comes to that, if a student has problems with learning all the blame thrown at him, his laziness or lack of desire. No one wonders what is the base problem. And in this case, teachers are dropping the blame on parents, and parents to teachers.
For everything to work properly you need to treat each student as an individual who has individual needs and desires of interest in his person. Because there is no doubt that everyone needs to pay attention to him.

Si partimos del convencimiento de que LA EDUCACIÓN es el elemento más importante para la Convivencia, Desarrollo y Bienestar Social que coincidentemente son las Funciones del ESTADO, es obvio que el FRACASO ESCOLAR es el fracaso del Estado, de la Sociedad, de la Familia, del Colegio, del Profesor y del Alumno (“la víctima”, como bien dice mi amigo y compañero de clase Sergio, en su comentario)… todos fracasamos, cuando fracasa la Educación de un chaval o chavala.
Centrados en la Educación Primaria y Secundaria, todas las estadísticas indican que el fracaso escolar se da en chavales de las diferentes clases sociales, en colegios públicos y privados, en familias estructuradas y desestructuradas, solo uno de los cinco hermanos de una misma familia (por ejemplo) y en alumnos de altísimo coeficiente intelectual como bajo.
Las teorías más generalizadas coinciden en que “LA DESMOTIVACIÓN” es una de las causas principales. El origen de esta desmotivación habría que encontrarlo de forma individualizada. La SOLUCIÓN, ¿…? Por lo que a nosotros nos toca, como “Educadores Sociales”, entramos de lleno en lo que, estimado profesor, en tu artículo llamas “enseñanza correctiva individualizada”. Pues bien, de eso se trata, de ayudar a corregir ese fracaso escolar y apoyarnos en el diagnostico que haremos junto a nuestros compañeros del equipo de trabajo y profesor. A nosotros nos tocará “el cuerpo a cuerpo” con el chaval, con la familia, y, porqué no, con el profesor y el colegio… EL ESTADO, la política, la economía… nos queda un poco lejos en ese cuerpo a cuerpo. Lástima que no dispongamos de un sistema político más participativo.
Por último, estimado profesor, me parece su artículo interesantísimo, estoy muy de acuerdo con su contenido y me imagino que nos seguirá aportando materia en este “apasionante problema”.
Un abrazo,
To understand what makes some people susceptible to the development of mental disturbances or learning difficulties which lead to failure at school, we have to look at their life experiences. Life experiences not only shape a people´s personality and psychological needs but also their brains in certain ways. In my point of view this process of obtaining life experiences and brain development begins from a very early age - in the mother´s uterus. I think that the prenatal phase might have the bigger influence on a person´s mental/emotional development throughout their life than other phases of human evolution. In other words, (apart from genetical dispositions) where and how we are brought up and our education is very important. The development of each person is shaped by their psychological and social environment. However, it is important to realise that environment does not begin at birth. Environment begins as soon as we have an environment. As soon as we are a foetus, a subject, and as soon as we start to absorb information coming through our mom´s circulations, our development begins. It was scientifically proved that we start to perceive the external world and emotions during the prenatal phase. It has been for example shown, that if you stress mothers during pregnancy, their children are more likely to have traits that predispose them to addictions or another types of predispositions. But there exists large amounts of similar evidence regarding the influence of the environment/the mother´s experiences on the formation of potential behavioural predispositions.
It is not only environment but also genes that have a big role to play in this area. Genes are not just things that makes us behave in a particular way regardless of our environment. Genes give us different ways of responding to our environment. However even nowadays it is very difficult to say to what degree a person´s mental development/form of thinking and acting is influenced by genes and to what degree it is influenced by our environment.( I recommend you to watch the Spanish drama called La Vergüenza (2009, director: David Planell) which deals with this controversial question – genes X environmental influence on people´s behaviour – interesting psychological drama:).
There is also another question I am asking myself after writing my commentary – is it possible to perfectly correct some type of disturbance even if it was developed during the prenatal period, - let´s say the most important period of brain shaping and body development? According to me it depends on how serious the problem is. We can maybe reduce it but not totally correct it. Those kinds of people will probably always have some problems in keeping up with normal society so we should find some possibilities for them to feel comfortable and useful during their life. It is a big challenge for all of society.
If the prenatal (but also postnatal development)of babies has a big influence on their potential aberrations I think we should provide special care to pregnant women in the sense of ensuring they are protected and feel secure. All pregnant women should for example have access to secure and varied food and other types of care (psychological, medical) that could guarantee healthy foetus development. We should provide the same care (on top of quality of education and psychological care) to children in postnatal areas at least to develop resistance, immunity and confidence in the external world.
We should prevent the development of forming potential mental perturbations and learning difficulties instead of simply using medicines to calm down wild children. Such medicines should only be used in cases of extreme hyperactivity to make work with these children more easy. These medicines do not provide long lasting solutions to the problems such children have. We should also not impose on them any kind of feelings of difference compared to other children that can, in my point of view, put negative feelings into their heads and provoke psychological instability and reduce resistance.
I think it is important to draw a line between what is normal behaviour and what is already out of normality. I think that nowadays we are analysing children too much and looking for any sign of unusual behaviour in them. We also have a tendency to give a definition (in this case diagnosis) to everything. I saw one document about learning difficulties and disturbances of children in the USA and their treatment. It is ridiculous but we could say that in the USA almost every child or every second child has some kind of learning difficulty, but why? This is simply because in the USA so many definitons of learning distrubances exist that almost every child can come under one of these definitions. I agree with taking medicines when it is necessary, for example, in the case of extreme hyperactivity, as previously mentioned. Medicines are not appropriate in all cases and sometimes we should simply help the children using more sensitive methods.
So, on the one hand we should distinguish limits of normal and abnormal behaviour while on the other hand, once we find out that a child has some learning disturbances, we should start to act immediataly by using certain ways to reduce the most negative consequences. This means involving parents, teachers and experts in helping those children using sensitive ways corresponding to their age and mental development to keep them up with reality and healthy children. The next question is what to do with children that are not able to keep up with other chidlren their age in spite of professional help. Is it right to seperate those children and put them into special instituions or rather let them stay in ordinary schools?
Another reason for failure at school is the attitude of parents who should serve as a model for children: motivating them and imparting knowledge and education on them as one of the most important values and senses of life.

Dear Lýdie:
Completely interesting all what you mentioned. Good contribuiton your reflection! Thanks a lot!
Best wishes. José Manuel Bautista.
Thank you José for your attention and praise. It is real motivation for me. I am glad you consider my commentary interesting.
It is not only interesting, I think your reflection is quite important because we need a correct view of this problem, thi is an important problem in many of our societies, so we cannot misdiagnose, not at all because this will be terrible even today!
Thank you!
My best wishes. JM.
I totally agree with you. Misdiagnosing can cause some negative consequences or even develop some kinds of other disturbances. A boy in the USA with extremely advanced levels of hyperactivity was, until puberty, taking 8 or more different pills in order to reduce this problem. However those pills finally caused changes in his mind and provoked also physical harm consisted in tics in his face. So it is very delicate matter.
At first I think that school failure is not treat at the same level in different environment. Some schools have higher standards than others, depends on environment and people in the system. We live in complex world and nothing is black and white. Each child is different so we should have as many different approaches as a number of children, but this is impossible. We must consider before we say that this child have problems with learning. Maybe just have a little more energy than others and is more restless. Some teachers that kind of behavior understand wrongly and think that child is problematic or. have issue with learning. I think that school should involve parents and engage with. With engage we can prevent failure and disappointment. We must encourage children’s interest and find the funny way of learning. How? It is not so easy but possible. We just need time to get to know the child and his needs and of course we need parents help and their opinion, because every parent knows their child best. But all children don´t have such luck, because they don´t have the main support from parents. And we are again in the beginning. That we solve the problem we need engage of many sides from teachers, parents, educational system to children themselves.

Estoy de acuerdo en cuales deben ser las fases para obtener un buen diagnóstico, y también de las posibles causas de un fracaso escolar. Pero tengo que pronunciarme en el como prevenir un fracaso escolar.
A mi entender para todo en la vida hay que estudiar menos para ser padre o madre y pienso que sí se debería de impartir, dar unas pautas de cómo educar a un niño.
Por otro lado, ni las materias que se imparten en los colegio, institutos (incluso a veces en la universidad), ni la metodología suelen ser las más adecuadas, motivante o realistas. Por no hablar de la motivación o ideales del propio profesor; ya que todos hemos conocido profesores que no tenían ningún tipo de interés en su asignatura o en sus alumnos (la mayoría), o profesores que luchan contra el sistema y la sociedad para mejorar su trabajo con sus alumnos (un pequeñísimo porcentaje).
Y es que hay profesiones que generalmente han sido vocacionales o que requieren tener esa vocación toda la vida para ser de veras un profesional.
Aunque el niño tenga que ser participe de su propio cambio y poner de su parte, yo lo considero una victima del sistema educativo, de la sociedad, de sus padres, de sus profesores, de la economía; victima del mundo en el que vive y de sus propias vivencias. A un niño para que no tenga fracaso escolar o para que vuelva a estudiar hay que motivarlo constantemente (en el hogar, en la escuela y en la calle). Nadie que esté sumergido en la ignorancia, con la mentalidad de juegos y despreocupaciones de un niño piensa realmente sobre la importancia de estudiar.
Si no, ¿porque diremos muchos de nosotros aquella frase que dice?: “Ojala fuera niño de nuevo…”
Estimado Sergio:
Es triste lo que dices sobre la Universidad y sus profesores, lo dice mucha gente.
Luego el tema de la motivación, estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, pero ¿por qué no se motiva más? ¿Es una falta de estrategia, de convencimiento propio, o qué?
Saludos. José Manuel Bautista
Hola Bautista:
Yo creo que es como “la pescadilla que se muerde la cola”. Si un profesor no tiene estrategias o no las crea el mismo y no motiva a sus alumnos, estos nunca llegaran a alcanzar los objetivos que desde el equipo docente se plantean alcanzar. La familia y el profesorado se tienen que al menos complementar (Si en el colegio no recibes la motivación suficiente, que el alumno la reciba de su casa y viceversa.
En cuanto al convencimiento propio, si uno no cree en lo que hace o no está motivado para llevar a cabo su trabajo (y más en el ámbito de la docencia) que busque como motivarse, que se sienta bien y realizado; porque si no, lo que terminará haciendo es perjudicar a sus propios alumnos.
Un saludo, Sergio Morilla Gil.
Sergio, de acuerdo en que el niño es la victima en el fracaso escolar aunque el problema de la familia, en cuanto a “prepararse para ser padre”, la experiencia demuestra que nunca te asegura “el exito” aunque es verdad que ayudaría muchísimo.
Un saludo
Hola Pedro.
Conforme a lo que mencione de “prepararse para ser padre” es un tema que a veces me ha venido a la mente cuando hablo de educación con amigos y compañeros del gremio.
¿Cómo evaluar lo que es adecuado o no?, ¿qué tipo de educación es mejor?, ¿En qué valores éticos y morales se debe de educar?, ¿se debe educar bajo una religión?, en definitiva ¿quien tiene potestad para decir cómo educar a su propio hijo?.
Es difícil abarcar este tema y creo que nadie es quién para poderse pronunciar ante estas cuestiones.
Aunque, si estoy de acuerdo en dar una educación básica, unas nociones básicas de cómo abordar la educación de un hijo. Para mi esta educación básica que puede ayudar a una persona a ser mejor padre/madre es aquella libre de prejuicios y esteriotipos, que es justa con ambos sexos y que incentiva la creación de una conciencia crítica, rodeada de valores positivos.
Hola Sergio, no se si a ti te pasa, a mi sale el texto “traducido al español” un poco raro.
Respecto a tu comentario, estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Como padre de tres hijos, ejercí el derecho de educarlos como mejor consideré en su momento y creo en ese derecho… es fundamental. Lo de prepararse para ser padre/madre, es un tema interesantísimo y una vertiente a tener en cuenta en cuenta en la Educación Social. Te animo a que continues profundizando en el tema a lo largo de la carrera, creo que merece la pena.
As I speak about how the diagnosing a student goes in Slovenia I unfortunately have to say that the first part which involves school an family information is too often left behind, specially family information. When a child goes to do the tests the result that comes out is far too often only indicator that they take into account. Which is kind of really sad because the family members are the ones who know the child best because it’s often hard and they’re the ones who are struggling with the child at home day after day? And that’s the reason why they know their own child so well and I think they should have bigger part in diagnosing child’s situation. And further more if we want to prevent school failure because of child’s disabilities the parents are again the ones who should have a gig part in it because they’re doing homework with child at home and helping him. So I think if we really want to save a child he needs to have support from all possible sources around him.

the failure in school are the result of a lack of cooperation between teacher, student and parents. It is necessary to support and understanding from all three sides. Active cooperation is an essential element to achieve the learning objectives, and most importantly, to teach the student. Moreover, observation of the student should be done from both the teacher and parents. In this way the student feels emotional support and is able to work effectively. I agree that teaching methods must be constantly tested.
Best regards, Kasia Weselak
It is a big problem, in every school I guess, to educate all students, at the same level, no matter what are they needs, how much attentions they need and how big with learning the ycould have. It is imoprtant thing, for an education system as a whole but also for each teacher, to deal with every special student, to teach them, to let them have equal chances as other students. But we all know that it is not an easy problem to solve. Mostly these kind of students are not given a proper help, bigger attetion. They are just called a problematic students and from the beginning treated as worst than others. What also dangerous, often teachers expect from them less, cause they don’t learn too much in general. In my opinion it all of course depend on a teacher, if she/he look at class as a group of students to teach or rather as group of individuals, where each of them need attention and help, no matter what kind of ability he/she has.

As far as I remember, I have always had friends named as problematic or lazy in class. It was in my childhood and my earlier teenage times. It is so sad that, non of them were treated in a way that the article above offers. Probably, after the primary school or high school their education life is over. Why? Because they were lazy or they didn’t deserve it. No! A great ‘NO’.. Because they weren’t supported by the people around them. We, the friends, often made fun of them. Our teachers humiliated them by asking permenant questions during the classes. Probably, their parents blamed them for laziness. What happened then? Society lost nothing but a promising individual who could take part in a different place. Shortly, we all are born with same but different characteristics. As the teachers of the future, what we must do is to respect to diffencies among our students and figure out their interiors. So that, we can create a humanistic society and wonderful world.

The rapid development of science and technology makes that the rapidly growing demands of school, so learning becomes difficult and not all students are able to meet the demands posed to them. Such children do not make progress in school, often receive poor reviews, live with a sense of injustice, often doomed to a lack of educational success. The school failure, we have since the beginning of the school. In every Polish school are students who are experiencing difficulties in learning, experiencing setbacks and move away from the school. These students not only make the other problems, but often have difficulty with each other and the environment, which can not comply…The responsibility falls on the student’s teacher. Which should effectively influence its development and reduce its difficulties in school. This is a very difficult task, requiring the subject teacher and educator of particular concern in relation to the a pupil.
My primary school teacher told about this issue with drawing a triangle. I remember she said not only for success but also for education she always needed to keep them together for keeping in touch. That triangle stated teacher, family and the student. All three are necessary and important also has responsibilities for education process. Firstly, teachers’ responsibilities, especially in primary school, are really much. They should take care not only with their lessons but also with their social life, communication with other students, their psychology. Additionally, if they realise something go wrong, they should always inform family. Besides teachers should know how to apply different teaching approaches, methods, activities and techniques, they should try to know students (e.g. students’ culture) and observe them (e.g. communication with others). Secondly, family also should always be careful about their children’s development of psychological, educational and social, and like teachers family also should keep in contact teacher and school. They both should make students feel like that they care his/her and support, because students can need these, for preventing students from failure.

Teaching and euducational process should be based on personal pupil’s needs however the finansial reward for it for teachers would be to little to cover the job. Nevertheless a GOOD teacher should be not only interested in payment for work but especially in his speciality - children education.
However if we put this problem to bigger scale - growing population will have a need of greater number of teachers and educators. “Greater number” could mean “less quality”, thus we should consider (with attitude) new ways of education and preparation of teachers.
I completely agree with the ideas presented in this article. School failure is a serious and complex problem, which affects not only students but also their parents and teachers. Therefore, its prevention is the best solution, and as it has been written, cooperation between parents, teachers and students is here crucial. Having children with difficulties in learning, parents should take care of their special educational needs, pay more attention to their school life and monitor the progress in education. Teachers ought to choose proper teaching methods, adequate for such students’ needs and preferences, diversify these methods (to avoid routine and boredom), give more time for assimilation of taught material if it is necessary (each student’s pace of gaining knowledge is important), be patient and helpful. When it comes to other students in a class, their tolerant and friendly attitude is essential. Unfortunately, it happens that students with problems in learning are perceived by their classmates as worse or even become isolated from a group. Of course, it depends on the students’ individual attitudes towards others, their manners, character, age, etc. However, improvement-seeking aim without friendly atmosphere in a class is hard to be achieved. In my mind, other students’ negative attitudes towards pupils with problems in learning are the weakest link in the chain of the mentioned cooperation and prevention.

Every student has no same capacity, intelligence, ability in life of her/him learning. Therefore, every student can’t learn same lesson in the same way. There are several reasons of the school failure. For example, if teacher don’t know him/her students sufficiently, this is big problem for students. Probably the topic is boring for student that teacher tells it in class,because student can have different fields of artistic or educational. So that teachers shouldn’t apply pressure to students about lessons.
I think teachers should seperate classes of students according to students’ comprehension rates. However teachers should communicate with students’ families because of students can have with their parents.
A reason for the school failure can educational deficiencies. Therefore, teachers,families,other educators should support the schools material and spiritual aspects. Social,political and economic environment should help to schools for new generations.

Students have problems and teachers have responsibilities of the students so teachers have to solve their problems. Firstly, the teachers should make a diagnosis and then they should treat it. Therefore, the teachers realised that every students are different so all of them have different problems. If a student isn’t successful, there can be a lot of problem. S/he may not like the subject or teacher, or has some problems which are about her/his family relation. Or s/he needs to listen the subject two or three times. After teacher realised the problem, S/he speaks with the student’s family and they have to find a solution together. And after their solution, the student can find out the subject. But s/he still doesn’t learn, they should find another solution. But finally, if s/he still doesn’t understand, the student can change her/his branch.

Although all are aware of the failure in the objectives in the education system, but all also know how to remove them. Throughout the article describes what should be done so that no failure! So why are not governed by the teachers? I think one major problem is the lecturer!. Everyone can learn how to teach, learn the definition, but who will teach us to teach students properly so that we are interested, entertained the teaching that at least half the knowledge that they say in the hours left in my head …? Nobody! A good teacher is looking bad, or at least there are few.
Therefore, I think that there is no error in the pupils, of course, that does not mean that all students can affect their education, of course it does. Students must have at least some relationship to teaching, but if a teacher has taken so much, never to be students as something they would like to know, but rather you must know!.
I agree that failure will prevent the involvement of parents, classmates and other people close to them. It certainly helps if others will help to ensure that everything went better. But while the teacher has an interest in the child as an individual, to know what is in health, his perceptions, abilities, level of language and especially his interest in teaching him the lessons or customize, so that interested him. It’s hard to take a class of 30 pupils, but because the teacher would be so open-minded, creative and fun, that’s interesting.
People may have individual differences. These differences are not to be ashamed of or to be proud of.Every people has his own style of doing a work. But in education, we should decrease these differences by helping them about these styles. But how? We should first know our student. This is a problem in education system. Because, generally the teachers don’t have these kind of approaches.Education is linked to a lot of things like family, environment, age, characteristic features etc. So, maybe it’s hard for them to know the students by taking all of these things into account.

From the very beginning of our lives we are constantly facing more and more expectations coming from our parents, siblings, teachers, peers and from our environment.It is not easy at all to live up to all of them and therefore it is very important to teach children that the inability to solve a problem, does not mean that they are incapable of doing it or that it is a FAILURE. Those children who aren’t taught how to handle obstacles, how to get over them by more practicing or asking questions, will later on have a hard time with problem-solving in many areas of their lives. Education therefore begins with parents,and not teachers. When we want to find a better way of treating educational failures, we have to begin with the background of the children, with the parent-child relationship. After getting an idea of what the children are like in their home environment, we can work on modifying our teaching methods, to find the one method that fits the best the needs of the students. We might have to devide the into groups according to their levels and capabilities, but we also have to make them realize that there is always more to learn.Motivation is a key idea in education because uninterested children won’t remember anything, won’t pay attention, whereas if we create a need for learning, they will become curious and eager to learn new things.
From my point of view, we shouldn’t use the word failure in education because if we carefully consider and study the personality and the level of the student, we can get over every obstacle.Children should feel that they have power to solve every problem if they work on it and try hard, therefore instead of failure, obstacle is a better word to be used in this case. Creating a healthy ego and balanced personality is more important than making a scientist from every child. They should be treated as individuals with different capacities, differently developed brain hemispheres, different family backgrounds.Our aim should be to release sane and healthy individuals, who are able to cope with life’s difficulties and understand that not coming up to the highest expectations doesn’t mean that they are worthless or worse than those who set those expectations.

Everyone knows that school is not perfect institiution. Generally, I think that it also never will be, becouse everyone is different and considers school as something different than others. It is natural. But it is very important to make te school better and better, not worse and worse. To achieve a higher level of schoolarship, there is necessary involment not only of teachers and school authorities. A big role have also parents and pupils. Parents should be interested in schoolarship of their children, they should also explain to their children how important the education is. School authorities are also very important: they should guard carrying the rules and rights by teachers and pupils, they shoud be helpful to them and should try to make teaching and learning easier and more interesting for both. The key role is played by teachers: the more interesting lessons they make, the more knowledge is taken by the pupils. All these subjects are very close to each other and should cooperate to make to school better.
School failure consists of many factors. Each of us are different so we understand information or topic in different time , so teachers i think need to understand this . Also teacher should work a lot on people personality to know and understand better his needs and everything. For this in school need to work in small classrooms i think. And i think the last one it’s realy hard to change something if a student aren’t interested in studies.

School is not a perfect institution. Everybody knows that. It is hard to make it works good because of many factors that that affect the functioning of the school.
If we want school to function properly and efficiently we have to tak under consideration a few factors for example:
background and culture of children in school,
parents financial and intelectual capacity, selection of a materials and exercises. I think taht the most important think is to think about school as community of individual personalities. Everybody is different. Of course it is impossible to give every student the same amount of attention but we should always remeber that everybody is different and school must be flexible
In my opinion this is the only way to cure mistakes in school
The failure of certain schools is a widely discussed topic in the UK, however there is a consensus on several issues that contribute toward their failure. The first is a high pupil to teacher ratio - the more students there are per every teacher, the less time the teacher has to spend tending to the individual needs of each pupil. Secondly, a lot of these schools are in the poorer areas of the inner cities. These areas are usually neglected by the authorities and gang violence is rampant. On these two points, I believe everyone agrees. Therefore it is also agreed upon that these are problems to be addressed, which is where further disagreement arises.
School failure has been a major topic of conversation in England for the past decade. Who is to blame - the teachers or the parents? I don’t think it is anyones fault but the childs education depends on both the parents and teachers. Households where a parent is really concerned about their child and their education and show the child that they are really interested in the child’s progress, rarely fail. Although families that show no interest or do not offer any help towards the child seem to have a child that fails.
We must consider also that the school system can play an important role. I think that other countries have better passing rates because of their unusual techniques to motivate students not to fail. In some countries, if a student fails their course, they are held back and have to repeat the course or complete the course again during summer. To many student this is not something you want to do so this gives them the motivation and the strength to pass.

Every student has an individual need that needs to be paid attention to. Even though failure is not a process that everyone follows the unequal treatment of an individual can define the result of their failure. Parental guide at home can ensure the student is getting the correct attention to maintain a positive attitude towards their education. However this goal can only be reached if the parents and teachers asses the correct procedures and work with the student in a correct manner. Knowing the specific learning needs of the individual and the type of communication the students is likely to respond better enhances their development skills further, preventing them from failing.
Bhavnita Parekh
As individuals we are all different, have different needs and problems. As students also. unique in every way. As a student you also experience that others may have problems that you manage perfectly and the other way around. Some of us manage maths perfectly, others geography. This is why we all require different methods for learning. This is of course problematic and difficult for a teacher. Teachers have to consider all the students at all times and should try to stimulate every students unique needs. In my opinion there is not enough resourses made in school in terms of helping the students understanding and learning the subjects. In some clases there is need for a second teacher because of children who requires extra help. It is also a challenge for the parents. many students have homework nither they nor the parents understands. These students often experience the feeling of falling behind the other classmates. This does something with your self-esteem as well as you often feel lost in the subject. I belive that it is very important for teachers who have many students in one class to take the time to sit and talk to each student to hear about what they feel they don´t understand or what they do understand.
Runa C Rognli
It’s essenstial that the teacher and the parents have a good dialog concerning the child. Maybe the child have problems at home, which could affect the learning prosess at school. Parents should also help their child in the best maner they can when it comes to homework, questions etc. However it might happen that the are changes in the curriculm/terms, so that they can’t help.
From my point of view every child should have classes adjusted to their best learning method.Some children learn best when they read, other playing games etc. However, it’s impossible to achive that, when there are 30 pupils in a class with only one teacher. Therefore, I think it’s important that the teacher varies the teaching, to satify all the children in the best way that’s possible.
For children with extra diffuctilies I think an extra teacher who will give guidance and help to that student, is a good solution to improve their learning in the schools.
Tonje Groendahl
In my opinion it is impossible to prepare class which would be ideal for All of students. All of them have other possibilities and learn in other way. For example one can be a fast learner, while the other needs more time to understand things. One can also learn faster in a quiet environment while the other at the exact time when the music or television is on. It is teachers’ task to make the classes as various as it is possible to try all kinds of absorbing knowledge they want to convey. Of course teaching methods and parental support go always hand in hand. If it is really noticeable that children have problems with learning parents should obviously know about that and then devote their time to help them. They should recognize somehow cause of their difficulties in school and try to solve it . They should never blame their children for the exam results ( unless bad grades are not the results of their laziness ) but support as much as possible. I think that everyone has ambitions and everyone wants to achieve their own target. If only we are properly motivated there is nothing to stop us from getting it.
Magda Marciniak
In my opinion the most important thing is cooperation between teachers and parents. It’s obvious that if a child has a problem with learning he needs more attention, unfortunately teacher is only one, in class are about 25-30 pupils and class lesson has only 45min…for that reason parents help in education process is extremly important. Ofcourse somethimes working in home it’s not enought and it’s necessary to go to specialist who can help find other reason of this difficulties but it’s still very important to comunicate to parents that they child has some problems and try to solve it as soon as possible.
The other thing is that usually clasess are not very interesting and a lot of students are simply bored, especially when they have to learn by heart completly unusful things just for pass the exam…we can only hope that one day govermant will change education system and the studying will be again treated as a privilige and pleasure, not an obligation.
When it comes to this subject, I think it is important that the parents get to participate in their child’s education, because it helps the teacher to understand more of the child’s situation – family relations, different problems within the family, culture, etc. – things that really matters when it comes to the child’s development, motivation for, and prerequisites to manage school. Family contact and engagement in every individual’s conditions is difficult to achieve in a good way, and maybe isn’t enough to help children with difficulties in school. The society also plays a significant role in this case, and there is a lot that can be discussed here. But what is sure is that it is both the parents’ as much as the teacher’s responsibility to help the child and to create the best founding possible for managing school and being motivated to it. We need teachers to be engaging, inspiring, and also have a sense of empathy.
In the text it is also written that the school lack of adaption. If I got this right I think it is quite true. Today there is too little light upon the individual and that there are differences between the individuals in the classroom. Quite often I think pupils are just seen as a whole, as a class, and are not being seen as the unique individuals they are.
I think it got captured very well in the article, that interventions and actions should be made within all the areas possible for causing problems in school, such as the politics, social and psychological factors, and I also want to add the environment in which we live every day.

There are mentioned diferent causes of failures during the school time at the article. Some of them have something common with the family problems, financial problems and bad educational system. I agree that we should make as much effort as it is possible to erase all these problems in order to help children. I think that it is important to show children a good part of life and convey them the most valuable principles. If we want to help children we need to have kind of influance on their character. We can’t simply force them to learn and to gain grades at school. We should talk to them a lot and explain issues. A lot of students whose school-time passes quite easy, to whose education is convenient and who have perfect conditions for learning, they usually don’t make such an effort to achive their target. That’s why i think that the harder it is to get the aim the more you appreciate your success after all.

First I have to say that I totally agree with the article. School failure is a big problem which we have to deal with.
There are a lot of reasons why a child may fail a class. The most important of them is the family and its problems. In every family there are changes, but sometimes these changes make the children doubtful and because of that they loose their interest in school and in studying. It is significant that the family have to be an affectionate and safe place for them. They need a role model and this person could be from the family, from the relatives or also from the school.
The teachers could be ideals too. The second reason of failure can arise from the school. If a kid doesn’t feel well in the courses, it could be because of the teachers or also because of his/her school mates. And another big problem is that nowadays it is not „cool / trendy” to study. The choice depends on the self-assessment of the child and on the support of the parents and the teachers. If he/she chooses that the studying is really „sticky”, then the result could be the school failure.
But other reasons could be the absences from shool because of chronic disease or operation, learning difficulties, behavorial disorders or school immaturity.
Often deep, unprocessed psychological porblems cause all these reasons. In that case the parents have to be patient and helpful. It is better if they concentrate on the solution instead of quarreling with their son/daughter. It is very important that the teachers and the parents have to help together.The child should feel that he/she can count on somebody whatever happens. They really need positive reinforcements in this part of their lives.
School failure is not only a problem when it happens, it also affects the future of the children. So special attention should be payed to it.

When you are working with children you have to know what the background is, the culture, the family, how he/she studying etc.
It’s important that you know the child good, so you can give a good diagnosis. You can give a diagnosis by doing observations. How is the child working, alone or in a group. When you notice something important, it’s important to talk about it with other teachers, or in a peergroup. It’s also necessary to inform the parents of the child.
Communication is the most important word in this case. You have to communicate with the parents, child, teachers, professionals to get a good observation, diagnoses and good results
In my opinion, in order to prevent school dropout, it is truly necessary to center your attention on each child as an individual, to get to know his/hers social/familial/psychological condition, to improve it –or at least to try to improve it-, to show that you care; but even after doing all these, there will be needed the help of others specialists and also parent’s support, in order to completely remove the risk of dropout.
It is a sure fact that there has to be a connection between the activity of training (designed by teacher) and the activity of learning (accomplished by student), because both of them are subordinated to an activity with a higher degree of generality – education. Considering actual changes, learning environment and its development trends (as we all know, education intends to be centered on the individual), a possible solution to reduce school dropout may be represented by giving a bigger importance to education’s secondary components, such as civic education, axiological one, religious education, health education, environment education etc. – sides of education that have a big and important contribution to the formation of personality; I do not say that the main components of education (intellectual, moral, professional, aesthetic, physical one) may be neglected, but the system and people who form the system need to pay attention to children’ needs and try to fulfill them (as many as possible).
I also think that a good cooperation between all sides involved in educational field of an individual (teachers, parents, children) must be developed in order to prevent and reduce school dropout.

I think, that the most serious problem is the school system. In my country (Poland), the way of teaching is very ancient. Students are not interested in learning, and I understand them. Teachers are not able to do classes in a interesting way. System has to be changed and as a result of that, students and teachers will change their attitude to teaching and learnig. Jan Zajac
The right function of educational system depends on many conditions. First is a government which made reforms, at least finance. These are the things which common person can´t manipulate. Let´s look at problematic issue which can affect each school by yourself and make concrete measures to improve the school system. In my homeland (Slovakia) is the new phenomenon to have a hyperactive child. All parents are coming with it, that they have hyperactive child at home and what they have to do, how can they work with that child. In most cases is „that“ child normal, healthy which has just a lot of energy which can´t discharged anywhere. Very important role in the school ground maintain social worker who works specially with children who ride up from standards. If social worker can see that the child is slow in learning or dull, can just send the child to CPPP (centre of psychological – pedagogical advisory service). There they make some tests, when result came they made arrengements. For example may have forfeited the child or to make an individual plan or assign personal asistent. For good atmosphere in the class is very important good students. If in 1 class are 2 – 5 problematic children, this class is consider like a „bad class, where nobody want to teach“. Next is very important the selection of children in matriculation. When is admitted a child which is not ready, has problems with learning during all primary school. This are very important issues. Of course it´s necessary to work with actual topics, literature, then adapt programme to present, use the new methodology and technologies.

In my opinion its difficult to put the proper diagnosis of the student possibility. It is an extremely long process, so the steps mentioned by you, should be performed several times during the years of learning child at school. It is important to take appropriate steps as soon as possible. Of course, parents and teachers should play a key role in recognizing the problems in learning pupils. Remedial instruction is undoubtedly useful. In my country Poland, remedial classes are conducted in small groups usually once a week. This is definitely not enough. Work with the child is paramount. A student with special needs should be under the care of school counselor who will help him find himself in school. However, such a person is not able to check exactly student progress and skills. Here is why involvement of parents is needed in the development of child: helping with homework, learning control.
In assessing ability and capabilities of the student we should take into consideration his willingness and commitment. It is extremely important because without help from the student are not able to help him. What is more while working with the pupil over his problems with learning we should be careful about his feeling. I mean his self-esteem. Treating him differently than other students may have negative impact of his psyche.

Education of our children is very important for themselves and also for ourselves. We have to be very watchful for our children , especially when we notice that he/she has a problem. I agree with this article about how should look diagnosis and treatment but I think it is impossible to introduce that system in a real live. The most important person who should notice child problem should be teacher. Nowadays children spend a lot of time in school and when they come back home, very often they are with their grandparents (who love them the most and don’t see any problems), or they have to stay in home alone, because parents are making career.In this situation it’s impossible for parents to notice child problem. I think that good pedagogue should observe students and react on time-talk to parents, go with a child to psychologist etc. I think that this article give us good option to resolve child problems and it show us how the whole procedure should look but I think in normal school it doesn’t work. I agree that sometimes are really good pedagogues who take care of students and react in case of problems, but nowaday there are a lot of teachers who don’t care and don’t want to do anything(I’m only talking about situation in Poland, because I don’t know how it looks in others country.)Parents, teachers and also students should get more involved in overcoming educational problems.
In my mind, i think that very important role in learning process play our parents who lead examples, develope our thinking, help us to solve problems. In addition, there are a lot of examples of children who don‘t have parents or their parents are drinkers. Many of them failure the school due to increased stress, loss self-confidence and motivation… Conversely, students who live in not social friendly environment, still graduate university very well! Why? Because of second parents – teachers. I mean it is very important to raise qualified teaching staff. Teachers who is enthusiastic, motivating and friendly, who can INSPIRE you and make addicted not only to his subject but also thinking about future. There can be perfect intervention programs, but if responsible people will be like robots, no good results will be effected. So, the most important thing is humanity power.

This article introduce us to school failure and methods how to recognize it and how deal with it. I think that most important person who can early to see if kids has a problems with learning is a teacher and firstly they should try to help . Cause no one spend so much time with child than a teacher .I remember my days in school, I go there 5 days in a week , from 7 am until 5 pm , so a lot of time I spend in the school , with my teachers and classmates . But of course , parents should react quick in this situation , if their kid have problems and try to help with that , spend more time with kid and do thing similar like that . Just for kids wealth.
Kristina Šeškauskaitė
I´m agree with this article. We have to look on every child like an individuality so we can prevent his failure. Every child has a different needs, hobies and interests about educational system. But it is not possible, in educational system, to take attention about every each child. In my opinon the child should be join into the class which has similar ability to adapt into the educational system. But I think that this is not possible everywhere either, because there is a big spectrum of kids with different abilities and skilfuls. This is the reason why, in specific cases, i reccomend a home school learning, like i was wrote in a last article. In America is this system a good run in, but in Europe a lots of people still have some restriction and reminds.
I´m studying a social work and in this part of humanities we´re still in touch with kids which have a problems in a school, they´re failuring. After that the problems don´t have just a kids, but a family at all. Many times in a schol are not heared kids problems and reminds and the child is from the teacher side puting aside and is stamp like somebody who is not able to do his own duties.
On the other side if we look on the problem from the student side we can see, that not allways is the problem student fall, student lazy or ignorancing of school system, but the many times the problem is ignoration of his own needs from the school/ teacher side.
This is the reason why i recommend coopertion between teachers, parrents and students (kids) together, but is necessary that one side is listening the other side.

School failure depends on many factors. May be caused by too many students in the classroom, lack of cooperation between parents and school or when parents overwhelm children with additional activities (for example: judo, dance classes, foreign languages, music schools, drawing lessons etc…)
But in my opinion there is also other big problem. Many children have some problems with dysleksia, concentration or Asperger’s syndrome. Normally people think that after one session in psychologist they can find the problem and start the treatment. But it is not true. You need a lot of time and patience.
When I had my student practice in Psychotherapy Center I had seen many cases of improper treatment. I had seen desperate parents who had been in many places with their children. In each one their get different diagnosis. I think that’s because it is difficult to unambiguously classify the problem. One and the same kid had different diagnosis….extremely different (starting with ADHD, some concentration problems, asperger and ending with diagnosis of slight autism).
The study of the child is quite long and involves the gradual exclusion of various disorders. It is important that teachers at this time could work with parents and psychologist. It is important not to stigmatize the child.
Many of those kids were extremely clever but they could loose their motivation to learn if from the very beggining some good pedagogue and psychologist doesn’t take care of their education.
In conclusion I want to say that it is easy to teach clever and patient kids. Much harder to teach children with problems. This requires from the teacher a lot more effort but IT IS POSSIBLE to achieve.

In France where I am from, we have been told about the “equal opportunity” and “meritocracy” at school. Indeed, everyone can go to the school and in the university despite of the social inequalities and this seems to be a fair “policy” for all. However, how can we explain the fact that today, the French educational system is one the most inequitable of the OECD?
Still in France, in order to show the problems of the French educational system, they often compare the children of an executive and the children of a workman (from the working class). As a consequence, we can deduce that the social class of the parents has a considerable impact on the future of the children.
The child of an executive will have a more appropriate environment to study, to have an access to the culture, to the books etc.. contrary to the child of a worker. Over the years, the inequalities widen and lead us to the “myth” of the “equal opportunity”.
A French sociologue (called François Dubet), had proposed at first a more “egalitarian society” and then “the equal opportunity” in order to reduce this “social injustice”.
Personnaly, I agree with the concept of a “more egalitarian society” but I think that the parents should be more implicated and that the psychopedagody cannot be ignored as well if we want to avoid this scholar failure.

We know that children are our future. Our future is depending on how we prepare them to live.
So we should be very careful. We should do everything to prevent their failure. Their failure now will be our disaster in the future.
We should realize that when education is a way to create better future for us and our children.
Karolina Stefańczyk
The child and his education are very important for our future and must not neglect their education. whether education is hard to assess the benefit straight away because it is a long process which is hard to diagnose right away. continued reform of education I have the impression it only hurt and harm the children above all herds of trial and error method is not appropriate and you should first think about every reform of the well and then be introduced

Referring to the article I must say that the failure of students in a school in my country do not contribute to the abandonment of education. Before I arrived in Spain I heard, with many children already in elementary school give up and leave the school. I was in shock, because without a good education of children are deprived of opportunity for good works, may have problems in your personal life because of ignorance, for example, foundations of law. The proposed solution failures in school are very good, but quite difficult to achieve. I think here of “La enseñanza Corrective individualizada ha de ser”. The schools are too many students who need help and not enough teachers who could help them and spend time with them individually on the compensatory lessons. In my opinion the fight against failure at school is difficult and requires time and dedication on the part of institutions associated with the school.

To my mind, an individual approach to every student is essential in consideration to the teaching methodology. Every person is individual, therefore, we do not learn every pieces of knowledge and different activities in the same time. What is more, all personal characteristics should be taken into account. Most of the people/actions surrounding a student have some influence on his/her learning process, even if he/she is completely not aware of it.
Nevertheless, an indvidual approach to every student takes lots of time. In theory is a marvellous idea, but in practice it is very hard to do. It is not an easy task to collect all the information needed to make a diagnosis. Students and their parents can be not willing to say everything needed. Sometimes,students are not even aware what stimulates them (or not) to learn.
However, this approach can be successful and should be practiced. But the cooperation between students, their parents and teachers is the first step that has to be fulfilled.
Mariola Dębiec
Mother and father, first must accept the child as an individual, independent, must treat him/her with love. Listen to his feelings and thoughts of establishing a good relationship with him/her, s/he has to respect the feelings and thoughts.Parents also must allow their children what their children want to be.
The teacher needs to deal constantly with the students. The teacher must be with the families of the students must cooperate. Which is unrelated to the course, late arrivals, fleeing the school, failed, withdrawn, quiet and a friend or a very moving and do not care about individual students, which is scattered, with the co-operation should go to his family, if necessary, consult the experts and institutions to be benefited.

There are some reasons for the failure of the child from the school or its surroundings. Constitute a single cause, such as school failure in children, with more than one reason may be also effective. First, you must turn the promise of failure. Because the lack of success and the success of each person is treated according to different concepts. Considered one of the success for failure to include someone else. For example, the child of a mother to pass the class as a success while another mother of a child’s appreciation of the report card did not take good notes in all their classes or special schools may fail exam he did not win. In fact, success is a concept that should be considered different for each child. Successfully adopted a child from another child, of course acceptable for the failure. However, the child’s mental skills that are important here, and taking into account the level of cognitive development is to make an assessment. Evaluation of success according to parents’ expectations can be made. A child’s failure to mention any of his knowledge and skill in gaining back their own developmental level than their peers to see that.

School failure is the combination of many factors. Many people (especially parents)think that is the teacher’s fault. On the other hand, in many opinion there is also parent’s fault. Other factor which may cause school failure is personality problem.. Every student have different skills, abilities, needs and problems. Thanks to that kind of articles and subject called ‘Diagnosis in Education’ I found out that it is a long and very difficult process to understand student’s problem, discover exact reason and later on solve the problem. Nevertheless in such situations there is necessity of cooperation between student, parents and the teacher. From my point of view the educational system is not able to manage with such difficulties. School failure become a common problem, that’s why we have to take into account all factors and investigate very carefully: parents cannot put pressure on their child’s education, teachers should take into account student’s behavior, treat them as single units , no as a group of students because as I mentioned above- every student is different. Very often it happens that parents or teachers don’t want to see child’s problem. In final effect the problem becomes bigger and bigger . We cannot let to develop such situation. Parents and teachers should be aware of fact that one day children become adults, so we cannot let the problem to grow because it may cause disaster in child’s future life.

I think that the students are not the reason of failure at school all
the time. Because, this is the responsibility of the instructors
rather than students. Because the students are young and they are
generally looking for help from elder people or their parents not only
in their school lives but also in their social lives. This is why they
need to get help in school. In addition, if the pressure of “being
successful” does not give positive result, this may cause behavioural
disorder. The main duty of instructors is to find the ways of
educative techniques which primarily make students more comfortable
and make students fearless from being unsuccessful. And this is not
too hard to find these ways through the education that we took. In
addition, by the experience, that we gain from not only in our
education lives but also in our whole life, we can easily tell these
to the students.

School failure is quite prominent in many societies. But as stated in the article, there are many different reasons for this occurence. Parents blame teachers, teachers blame the government, and the government blames, teachers, parents and students.
With everyone playing pass the blame, and so many factors affecting the performance of a school, how does one diagnose accurately and apply a remedy?
Living in inner London I went to a school that since I left has gone through several transitions, and is now an academy school, being threatened to improve or be shutdown. From my personal experience at a school one can say was ‘failing’ I can say first hand that no one factor is to blame. But a endless circle of different social, economic, and governmental issues.
When I was in secondary school students like myself who were smart and well behaved were ignored, and the teachers spent all the energy and attention on the students who acted badly, and those who had slipped through primary education unnoticed.
What this resulted in was, students who were smart or well behaved, giving up because they never got the recognition they felt they deserved. Teachers became weary and their motivation to the job they once loved depleted.
Alot of the time teachers just attributed bad behaviour to the students not having respect and gave them detention or threw them out of class; if they had asked a few questions they may have found that the student was being bullied, having a hard time concentrating, or most likely was coming from a bad situation at home.
The government also sometimes are more of a hindrance than a help. they put in national targets that schools have to reach without taking into consideration demographical differences.
School failure has been a recurrent issue throughout the years. There are many factors that are involved.
In the past, only men worked and women stayed at home. They could therefor help the children with their school work. Now both parents work and the children have to do everything themselves. The social media and video game sectors are growing more and more important everyday. Children prefer spending time having fun rather than doing their school work.
Another problem is the school system which hasn’t been “upgraded” in a long time. In order to obtain better results and interest more the students, the government(s) may need to review it’s policies.
As a child gets older, he attends classes with more and more students. The classes are too crowded. Teachers cannot give any spare time to the students, and just “spit out” their lesson, and driiiiiiiiiing.. class is over and only a small part of the class really understood the day’s lesson. More students, less teachers, same amount of time, never a good mix/blend.
I personally believe that not all students have the intellectual capacities to go to university, which isn’t a shame at all. Students need more attention in primary and secondary school, as well as a reorganization of the school system.
There will always be school failure, but the goal is to reduce the numbers of failures, to interest the students, and to make children actually want to go to school. This hard task will not be resolved in one day.

Nicholas Mierowski
For me this tipic is difficult to comment because I don’t quite understand what school failure is. The only example of school failure for me is my secondary school, where studied all kind of students with different ability levels and with different situations in their families. The school was public and I found it too easy to study there over the years, so luckily mother paid attention to this and changed the school for me. In Latvia public secondary schools are pay-free and usually no good for studying.
There are many factors contributing to pupils´ failure at school. Its reasons may lie on the teacher´s side or it may be caused by the situation at home, for example material reasons, but also it depends on students themselves. Students should feel that they need to acquire and expand their knowledge, tending to the self-improvement.
When the first problems or difficulties start to appear, they should not be ashamed, but openly talk about them with their teacher and parents. Because the sooner they resolve the problem, the better!
Children will feel then much more comfortable and safer in the classroom and will not be ashamed in front of their schoolmates anymore and will find greater enthusiasm for further learning. Facing difficulties children should feel support from parents and teachers. Teachers should try to find time to attend all their students, although I realize that this it´s difficult, since the groups are numerous.
Parents should also pay more attention to their children and check how they manage with subjects to help them in case of any trouble

Educatonal system is not able to manage with all difficulties. It is vital that diagnisis should take into account all the aspects to achieve the best objectives of educational system.
I agree that so improtant isinvolvement of parents teachers and students. All this together can give children opportunity to improve themselves equally. It is only the way toprevent failures. Taking into account conditions in which the child is growing and the fact that every child is different it is possible to obtain best results.
For that reason very important is teachers approach to motivate children,especially in the case of children with some disabilities. Teachers should pay more attention to them, not only focus on best pupils.

It is my firm belief that most of the school’s failures are due to lack of qualified teachers. The vast majority of teachers do not pay attention to students with different learning difficulties. Therefore, they neither modify their teaching techniques to facilitate learning process nor adjust their demands to students’ individual needs. For that reason children with for example dyslexia are considered as lazy or stupid. A good teacher should consider both individual students’ strengths and weaknesses and modify teaching methods so as all students have equal chances. Teachers readiness to adjust to individual students’ needs is essential.
El Fracaso Escolar, es un problema que cada día crece más y más.
Todo esto se debe a la sociedad donde el estudiante vive , que no puede ayudarlo … y que en mi opinión, contrariamente acentua sus dificultades.
El Fracaso Escolar puede depender de muchos factores tales como …. problema del idioma, por ejemplo La dislexia, o problema de escritura, por ejemplo: disortografía que pueden conducir a una ralentización tanto en aprendizaje en el aula y la ejecución de tareas .
puede depender de las características personales del estudiante como por ejemplo ser demasiado timido… … lo que hace, que sea incapaz de interactuar y participar, el cierre si mismo y más con los profesores así como con los compañeros.
La primer ayuda debe venir de la familia, y más tarde de la escuela, asi también de los profesores ,Por qué los profesores, así como ser responsable de su discplina también debe tratar el plan humano y social y asegurarse de que usted tiene una clase integrada sin diferencias entre un alumno y otro.
Sobretodo en las clases de los niños con problemas de integración, como se mencionó anteriormente ,o con Estudio de caso de aprendizaje.
el alumno debe ser seguido individualemente y tambien debe ser estimulado y motivado,
los progresos del niño deben ser evaluados de manera que poco a poco el nino alcanza el nivel de cualquier otro, pero, sobre todo, para continuar después de la escuela, una forma de vida caracterizada por la seguridad y la sociabilidad.
If the pupil´s personal strenghts and problems are not taken into consideration, school failure may lead to dropping out of education and weaken the progress of knowledge. It is not always that the student slips farther and farther from the other, every pupil just needs his/her time to process and understand information. We have been discussing a lot about constructivism and individualism, so also here should we remember that every each pupil learns different way and needs some special guiding to find the best methods for him/herself. I think one thing that is causing school failure is that the school and the curriculum set pupils some requirements, and if they can not reach them, they will be marked as stupid or lazy students. A child can also be very intelligent and willing to learn, but the subjects and the way of teaching may be something that are not challenging enough and consequently lead to apathy. Instead of claiming pupils about having problems should teachers and schools focus on improving the education towards more flexible and personalized programs, so that pupils could feel themselves as individuals and special, not different and difficult. That can be made by developing learning plans suitable for each person, motivating pupils through giving some value to their own interests and voice, helping pupils to learn and to improve their personal ways of learning and skills, encouraging students to be individuals and participate in class work as well as activities outside the school as who they are and communicating more effective with the parents to bring families more closer to the school. I think the most important thing is all in all to make the school a place which is not separate from the society and the everyday life the pupils live. That could help pupils to get rid of the idea of that the school is a place where they have to success and try to get some results, which can easily lead to being in anguish and feeling inferiority.
there are more reasons why school failure can be caused. first of all the teacher must understand that every student have different time needed to obtain information and have to be able to deal with students with problems to learn, not only working with the ones who catch all information and produce it into work quickly.
secondly there could be too many students in a class so the atentione can be not divaded equaly and causes in a lack of students atentione, too much informacione and too many working hours for a children are no good for his mind and the concentration level goes down rapidly.
also the parents have to give support for their children if they see a problem in studies, its almost as important as teachers supprot, the bigest influence in education progress comes from both of them.
School failure might be caused by several different reasons. School: There are too many children in one class. One teacher doesn’t have enough time or attention for all of them. Also teachers might not always have enough skills or creativity to stimulate children interest to gain new skills and knowledge. Often teachers only know how to teach their subject, so for the children, who don’t have problems with studying, its fine, but for the children with difficulties, it might be a problem. Teacher has to know how to deal with children who have many different needs. All the children are not as skilled and knowledged as some others, but it doesn’t mean they don’t have ability to learn, they just have to be approached differently. Home: Everything starts from home. If a child doesn’r have a secure and stable environment at home, he/she won’t feel himself/herself comfortable anywhere else either. Parents job is to offer their children all the support and help they might need. Their job is also encourage the children to set their own goals and try to achieve them, built self-confidence and independence. Children, who don’t have problems at home are in school less distracted and open for new knowledge and skills.
All in all, I think, if noth parties would donate more of their time, thought and effort for children to cope better with their tasks in school, school failure could be prevented or at least the number of school failure could be reduced.

Like most of others, i think that we can find the reason for failure in school in various factors. Sometimes it’s teachers fault, who pay attention only to »smart« kids, who understand everything and they don’t pay much attention to others who have problems with studying and understanding. Sometimes it’s parents’ fault because they don’t help their children when they need help. Sadly, sometimes parents don’t want to admit to themselves that their child has problems with studying and they force them to study at the higher level, which is not suitable to their ability to study. Because of that child can lose interest in studying because they don’t achieve same results as others and everything gets even worse. I think solution is not only in teachers tutoring kids with studying difficulties but peers (other schoolmates) tutoring too, because they can help each other by explaining things how they understand it. And we should encourage children, not accusing them of not being good enough. Too many times, children with studying difficulties are mocked by others and that can only lead to loss of interest and denial.

The failure of children in school because of difficulties in knowledge and skills often leads to a variety of emotional distress. Such as fear, shame, inferiority. Lower school achievement by further increase and lead to even more complex consequences. If children’s difficulties and unimaginative you wrongly interpreted, it can not be helped by this, its problems only deepened. Due to not being accepted at their parents and hiding the real problem, difficult students seeking validation elsewhere. Here you find the missing attention and satisfy their desire to prove. Motivation for the school simply disappears. They say “I can not do this - I’m too stupid to do so” so teacher and parents must motivate children and help them that they do not feel stupid or not importan and stimulate their skills. Do not allow your child or student to negative self-image!

This article very useful.Diagnosis and treatment options are really important to be considered.Failures can be caused by many things.The results in the negative.Human may be affected psychological and social aspects.In this case, the family and teachers have great responsibility.The failure of an individual not be connected external factors only.The individual self must be discovered, should be aware of their responsibilities.Families, their children comparisons with other children and trials failures of as a result very wrong.Criticize instead need to look for ways the solution.Failure is not too magnified.So its not impossible to solve.

I wouldn’t like to sound too much clichéd, but In my belief 80% of the school’s failure is due to the lack of qualified teaching staff. As I see from my experience as a student and future teacher, the headmasters usually employ the ones who have completed university abroad or with the best public recognition, not inspecting the practical, pedagogical adaptation to the occupation, which in fact, is the most crucial thing and vital pillar of success . No one but an inspiring teacher can contribute to the success of students. By the success I mean not mastering the subject in every detail like an unerring machine but awakening the need for studying as a source of future well-being and self-satisfaction.
Unfortunately, the main goal of the teachers nowadays is to fulfill tight curriculum, not necessarily paying attention to individual needs of students. The excuses like there are too many students in the class and there is no time… are just pathetic and therefore school faces constant failure. Why not try to be unconventional – give students opportunity to get the best of their abilities. Why not look at students as individual entities who differ in terms of intellectual capability and just try to look at their future needs?
There are some reasons why children have problems in school. First of all I think it depends on the family situation. When you grow up and your parents trust you and believe in you, you will be good at school to, because you don’t have to be afraid to make a failure, but if your parents don’t believe in you and you are afraid to make mistakes you normally will make mistakes, because you are afraid of it. My parents always believe in me and so I don’t be afraid of anything, if I got a bad grade I wasn’t afraid because I knew that my parents will help me to improve it and finally I passed all what I want to pass!
But it is not always just the child and the family there could be also problems with teacher, when the teacher doesn’t had a good time in school it will affect his/her teaching method. Normaly when the teacher is good (i mean an enthusiastic, motivating and friendly person) than also the class and the students will be good, because they where influenced by this person.
So it depends if the problem comes with the student or from the teacher, but in every case there should be a way to improve it.

This is very very important subject.There are various reasons of school failure.Student’s parents,environment,friends,teachers… influence to school failure.
I think if child’s friends are related with their lessons,child will be related with his/her lessons,too.Child’s parents’ behavior influence of child’s achievement.And of course the behavior of the teacher in class is very effective about student’s achievement.
In my opinion we must observe child’s background.
All students’ learning method, types of intelligence is different.I think teachers must be careful about this topic.Education must be personal.Parents and teachers must work together for child’s achievement.

Discussing about school failure, you should think about the child’s background, but also the school environment. The way child is developed, it’s summary of the parents and school. some times parents can feel, that their kid’s school failure is their fault and they are taking it very hard, but sometimes they have difficulties to believe that their child have some porblems with school, and that might lead to blaming the school about the problem.
I’ve been working in schools, as a school assistant, and also as a substitute teacher, and I’veen involved in that kind of situations where parents don’t agree about their child’s school failure, and are fighting against the teacher and other professionals which where involved. And it took a long time to get the parents understand, that every act is for the child’s best, and it’s not their fault. In Finland, some parents are also feeling shame if their kids have problems with learning, so that also afflects how they are dealing it.
Like written in ‘The school in the white political target’ artical, parents are big part in a schoolworld, but sometimes parents are not interested in their kids education. And preventind school failure, parents should be more involved, because the child needs help also at home, the school can’t do everything. But, also the school be able to provide support for kids who has some problems with learning. As a teacher-to-be, I try to remember, that every child is different, and that’s why every child also learns differetly.

Currently, we talk more and more of the topic of the school failure. Why? Because, according statistics more student are in school failure.
The hypothesis of each child is different and so, the education should be personalized, could be a good thing but it is certainly difficult to succeed due to the too little number of teachers. But, different groups should be take place in each class, and every child could move in their own rhythms of work. But one more time, this system would increase the feeling of level difference. And that is absolutely dishearten for children.
Does marks in school is a good things or not ? It is quite difficult to answer. First, because marks could allow children to situate in comparison of the rest of the class, next, they allows to know their level and see if they have make progress. But the bad way is that marks create difference between children and that could provoke the start of school failure.
School failure is due to family environment too. Parents who cannot be present to help their children have most of the time a great impact in their success at school. According to me, it is completely necessary that parents have to help their children to do their homework, to show that school is important in the life.

„To prevent school failure is necessary to engage and involve parents, teachers and students to jointly take an active part in the educational task“.So important!! Students, teachers, parents and another school workers (psycholgist, special education teacher etc.) should cooperate in every possible way. But nowadays it seems to be a problem.. Parents usually don´t have (or don´t wanna have?!) time for their children, they don´t want to be involved to their school matters. Some children are able to go over without problems, but some children need help from parents much more than the others. They need to be supported and to have good and friendly study conditions. When they don´t get anything of that, they can start to feel „not good enough“, which makes bad influence for their future self-confidence. Each school institution should prepare intervention programm to prevent school failure. And teachers should be educated enough to be able find the reason of school failure and help to each student individually!
Michaela Máchová
This article discusses how to best deal with children who are failing to progress at the expected levels. The article suggests eight different guidelines, or principles “that govern the applicability of remedial teaching.” I found these principles quite interesting as they promote a multi-faceted approach to dealing with children who are falling behind. In contrast to the school that I attended when I was younger, where problem students (ranging from the hyperactive, to disinterested, to violent) were all lumped together and treated with the same method, as ineffective as it was. This article promotes a much more holistic view of dealing with children who are not advancing, including taking into account the feelings of self-worth of the student. I think that this is very important, as many students who feel that they are dumber than their peers find themselves discouraged and demotivated. In order for children to advance at a healthy rate, their program must be interesting and innovative, not the cookie-cutter approach that western school systems have favoured in the past.
Kelsey Rush
School failure is the result of a combination of factors, it is often due to family, personal, emotional problems or deficit.
In my opinion, to prevent this it is a very important collaboration between family and school, but should not be the only point on which we must act, because not all families work together in the same way.
A major responsibility is of the teacher, I believe many teachers impart only knowledge, without letting people know how to teach and without knowing those children who are in front.
Each person is different, has different abilities, and teacher’s purpose should be to get their kids to approach everyone in the right way. It takes a great empathy to be able to become a good teacher. But especially if the teacher wants to ensure that the pupil opens and shows his or her emotions, he must do the same because it is only in giving that we receive a response.
This in my opinion makes you realize how essential it is an appropriate approach to the boys, because with a wrong approach they finish making a refusal of school to the children, while education is a valuable asset.
I think the schools today, at least the Italian, are very individualistic schools, in fact, they do not go looking for the talents of individuals, but expect the same result by all.
Arrivederci Martina Rossi
Nowadays school failure is a very important topic, because the number of failing children is increasing more and more. And if a child or teenager is failing in school, it will affect their hole life´s. Lots of them don´t even graduate school. So it is very hard for those people to find a good job in order to have a satisfied and healthy life.
They reasons of failing children can be very different: medical reasons, psychological reasons, trouble with parents or family. And also if a child is totally healthy in mind and body there is no guarantee that the child will be a good student in school. Teachers play a major role in the improvement of their students. It is very important that every single child gets the needed attention and encouragement from the teacher. So I think it would be better to actually have two teachers in every classroom, that there is always one there to help.
To motivate students it is important to start, for example, learning another language, already in kindergarden. In this age most of the kids are extremely motivated. That would be a good base for the future, because if they already have a knowledge of the language, it´s easier for them to continue learning.
The friendly cooperation between teachers and students is very important to make a kid feel good in school. In my opinion “to feel good in school” is one of the most important keys for children. That will lead them to like going to school, which is crucial for motivation.
Sorry for the delay!

After reading this text i thought maybe we can make some tests for students, pupils before they are going to school. After results of that tests we will be sure what kind of personality the person is and what kind of disabilities she/he has got, or even on which subject is really good.
I think that today child with undiscovered disabilities being in a group or class feels guilty because it is cannot cope with tasks at school. He/she can feels shame of that and teacher punish student for that. Teacher has to be responsible for his students. That’s why is good option for student with disability to have own teacher who will be like a guide in educational world.

Education is an increasingly important feature within society. Where once only select social classes needed a high level of education, nowadays it is a necessity in every strata.
Our current age is epitomised by information. With the internet offering such easy access to all kinds of information and markets all over the world ever expanding, globalisation is occuring at an exponential rate. In this changing world we, the students and workers, must adapt to the new and changeable economic climate. The key to our successful adaptation is, of course, a high level of education. Without this education we cannot hope to compete within the work-force. This is why failure in school cannot be tolerated.
When a student leaves school early they severely limit their future options. It is now so important to have a degree of some sort in order to get the more desirable jobs. Without a proper education, a person can only choose from jobs which are more labour intensive and which require fewer skills. These jobs provide less security and freedom. A student who leaves school early or fails during their time in school has not been properly informed about the importance of education by their parents or their teachers. By allowing a student to fail, the adults who are responsible for their education let down the student and potentially damage their future.
Of course, it is possible to return to education in later life. Lots of people experience many years of hard work in low skilled jobs only to discover that as they get older the work is more and more difficult. They come to realise that their only option is further education if they are to escape their undesirable employment. My father is an example of this: Having left school at an early age he went to work in a factory. He spent over 20 years working there until he lost his job abruptly due to the factory’s closure. Left without any transferable skills, he started to attend college locally. He is now much happier and more equiped to deal with the modern work-force.
But although one can return to education at any time, it is all the more difficult as time progresses. My father found it very difficult to adjust at first, he did not know much about computers and he hadn’t written an essay in decades. Now he’s an expert! But at first it wasn’t easy.
This is why it is vital that parents and teachers inform students that education will only become more important in the future, and that if they deny themselves a real education then they deny themselves real opportunities.

Dear Seán:
Thanks a lot for your words, comments like this let us to learn about education and life.
I remember when I was in Ireland working in my PhD, I worked close to AONTAS (http://www.aontas.com/) and in the Department of Adult and Community Education (NUIM), etc. I remember meetings in Finglas, Tallaght, Cavan Monaghan (LEADER Program), etc. and many situations as described.
Thanks again for sharing this.
Regards. José Manuel Bautista.
I think that the more individualized the teaching is the better result we get. I remember my lesson in physical education where teacher had set limits what we had to do to pass the course, she didn’t take care of our individual development. There is too many rules that teachers have to follow and sometimes is better do to opposite ( not to do like rules says, try to create something his/her own). All the people are not the same, so everyone needs more or less time to manage with exercise or whatever they learn at the moment.
Nowadays it is easy to label children if someone is different than others then she/he is autistic (for example). This is the easiest diagnose. We need more concentration ability to understand that everyone of us has unique abilities.
I think that sending childrens in special schools isn’t always so good idea, especially when there isn’t big deviances. If children can grow and learn in usual environment then they learn to respect the differences, also it increases emphaty sense. I know that feeling when teacher thinks that you are not skillful and she/he don’t wait from you the progress. Instead of supporting the teacher lower your self-esteem and it might be the start of the problems ( learning difficulties, communication problems ect) or it might be the motivation to be better, creative, independent ect.
It is important that children have around the people who believes them and encourage as well and don’t force them to do things.

I agree that the cause of educational failure should be discovered early so it could be treated effectively. There are usually big groups of children, classes for example, and it is difficult to attend every child individually. Because of this it is important to have some background information about every child. This way it is easier to determine diagnosis in case of any problems that could lead to educational failure.
In schools it is difficult to cater everyone individually therefor educational programs should be very flexible in order to satisfy the educational needs of every child. In my teen years the educational program in my high school was very narrow with almost no chance of modification so basically every course had the same structure and tachers had the same teaching technique. Students often thought they did not visit school to receive education but they thought they were part of the test to see if they can finish it. The teacher’s selection was felt by students in the first grade and many didn’t pass the grade and evetually gave up the high school completely. They thought they were not good enough and there was no intervention from school’s side at all.
Flexible programs are necessary in order to cater the needs of children. Course periods should vary because some children like, for example, theoretical education and others like practical education. This way the teachers can also determine what educational approach is best for children individually.
Parents should always be actively involved in educational process of their children. As a matter of fact, they should be the first to determine what kind of educational process is the best for their children and not only comment on what kind of grades they bring home. After all, they spend most of the time with their kids and they can help them find the best way to enjoy the education.
Like the text stated, there are many possibilities for school failure. Some students may not learn on an average level and may become discouraged and therefore give up. Other students may be bored with the way the information is being shoved into their brain. I believe acknowledging, understanding, and taking action on these different motives could greatly decrease the failure in schools today. Everyone in the school systems and in the students life should do their part in assuring that they get the proper education that works best for them.

The failure of the school the student with real talent among the school’s success can be defined as a difference.Education science dictionary of the failure of the school the student is considered confidential under the capabilities described as a success. School performance of children with school failure, remains under real capabilities. These children, usually under the capacity of the capabilities are programmed to use.
Student’s school is very important because failure to put the correct diagnosis in later life, yet very, very nice to put those times when teşihisi basic seated.
Of course, this treatment is the most beautiful stage just wrong to expect things to progress in school, a school, family, environmental, educational therapy, and importantly, students and teachers without the knowledge of the student expected to treat students to a good covering.
In addition, students in this healing process without offending Uhh hurting him. Each student should be given the correct behavior of the feedbacks and feedbacks in the wrong behavior.
This continuous improvement should be noted that the stages progressing step by teachers and students to see how much would be very healthy.
And ultimately the society in a healthy way to give you an individual becomes a student as a result of a successful and healthy working.
1 - PERSONAL REASONS FOR FAILURE:
Caused by hereditary factors and individual characteristics brought by the student from birth. Intelligence failure, physical or physiological factor is an apology. Intelligence failure and learning difficulties occur. Such children’s learning speed is slow. These children are learning in school with normal children they see the same fail. To do this themselves should be trained in schools with children of the same nature. Their special education, home and school life of adaptation can be achieved in part. The purpose of this training will be given to children, children make effective, arouse interest and attention, hand skills, self-manage the state to bring a social creature.
Children’s slow learner, a student who developed severe, the family of a close cooperation with the child’s teachers to determine the method of teaching, encouraging the child, should give him courage and confidence. Reward successful in areas where it failed to support and help in areas where you need it.
- SOCIAL CAUSES OF FAILURE:
I - Reasons for failure from the family:
a) Mental diseases, emotional problems can be specified. In some cases can be called emotional shocks impairs the child’s mental stability, prevent the success of the school. For example, almost losing a child, illness of one family member, mother or father to remain separate for a long time, the parents’ separation, a sudden fear, problems in adolescence and young child as a psychologically negative effects. In such cases, family, teachers, in collaboration with the teacher’s guide, children’s mental problems that can be recovered.
b) Domestic relations are not balanced and orderly, there is sufficient emotional and social interaction environment, families are negatively affected by the success of the child or young person. The child in such families has not been enough attention and affection within the family discord and instability, negatively affects the child’s success.
c) The child or young person’s talents are other reasons for the failure of the school on the expected success.
d) The period of adolescence can be a failure in the young people of that era created by the emotional reasons. The young people during adolescence, attention quickly dissipates, because of the emotional tension in the closed, narrow field of thought and interest intensified at certain points, so that the school performance drops. Failure of the child to be at home with the procession, demonstration of successful examples, such as siblings or peer groups when he continually failed as did the child or young person it is withdrawn, passive, depressed people who bring the state.
e) The indifference of the family against children or young people are among the factors leading to failure. Children return to school or younger can not find anyone at home to deal with it, a thing he asked about classes, homework, no school, asking what he was doing. Ödüllendirilmeyen, punished children for the school itself will remain indifferent, cools off from school, the course will not work.
f) Parents’ too harsh, authoritarian material employed in the failure. Through the discipline at home is provided. The child or young person covered by any failure of the approach. Children at every opportunity azarlanır, criticized, punished, beaten. A student is exposed to such behavior to be expected success. Grown in these conditions, children’s school, teachers and friends in difficulty of adaptation to environment. Teachers, family and contacts with the cooperation of all students in the teacher’s problems can be solved.
II - Reasons for failure from the school:
Teachers, school administration, curriculum, teaching methods play a role in this regard. Made based on individual methods of teaching an aspect of school failure. A program that requires each student to teaching in the same way, the student can not take into account individual characteristics. A heavy learners in the classroom, as there are gifted. Some of these students are prepared for mediocre programs suffers from frustration, some of them get used to laziness. Leads to the failure of the curriculum leading to Ezberciliğe. Negative attitudes, authoritarian attitudes, knowledge deficiency, the students and teachers in the profession are pushing against the failure of ilgisizlikleriyle students. However, teachers, positive attitudes and behavior improves success.
III - Causes of Failure Caused by Economic not posıbblty
Failure of the family also plays a role in the economic opportunities is limited. Tool-equipment of the school students can not, can not afford leisure-time, biological needs, physical environment, and school failure is common in families that can not be fed.
Recommendations;
Not to hurt students solved the problems of understanding the school, family, environmental, educational therapy and regular meetings with teachers and students is of course with assistance. best regards.
Basic educational needs of the society created in order to eliminate
One of the institutions of the school, creating a controlled environment for children that will benefit society and its attempts to create behaviors. However, the school’s students to acquire the desired behavior alone is not possible. Earned a significant portion of behavior occurs with the contribution of the family.
Children’s education, the biggest responsibility falls to family. Both the periods of childhood and pre-school education in his school years, the family is very effective in the development of the child’s personality. Especially with modern almond child education was dominated by western teachings. Anatolia in the field and the teachings of Anatolia, where thousands of children’s education did not match the accumulation of years of civilization. Families with children have increased problems with communication, the modern age-specific diseases has increased, psychologists gate etching has become fashionable. Loneliness of modern man in the family have pushed the wrong education.
Such problems are the reason for failure of the person. At this stage, the task falls to the teachers and parents. Individual parents better recognize

According to me reasons for school failure should be discussed much more in our society as school qualifications affect one’s whole life. They help you to find a job, be accepted at a university and so on. Leaving school without any certificates limits your career options extremely. As more and more people fail to finish school successfully we can already classify this problem as a society phenomenon. But what shall we do against this negative movement?
First of all it is important to remember that school failure not automatically depends on the student’s lack of understanding. In many cases teachers, schools and our society play a crucial role as well. Teachers have to make their pupils curious and motivate them to learn and if the teacher is not able to do that the children will loose interest to go to school after a while.
Although teachers are the main providers of school life, they are not the reason for this new phenomenon. Let me deliver you insight into the situation in Austria. In my opinion the cause of the huge amount of school failures is the negative image of our education system presented by the media. As pupils are shown as stupid teenagers in the newspaper and in the television, they are not motivated to work hard for school. Furthermore parents criticize teachers as well, which supports the negative image the pupils have already in their mind. All these negative influences bring pupils to fail school.
In my opinion it is a very good possibility to switch to a new type of school, for example to a professional school, in order to recover ones motivation. A new surrounding and new class mates may cause a melioration of the situation.

As said here in the text and also by other student, there are many reasons for school failure and by not ”fixing” 1 or 2 of em is not a solution. Like in every aspect in life - people are different. So are students and their capacity of studying. One is absolutely great in maths but fails in history or for example long distance running. There are few, who are good at everything or can keep up with the pace of intensive studying. That’s why it is in my opinion important for schools to provide the circumstances for students and not to expect that everybody should be evenly good at everything at keep the same pace. For me this is not discriminative or making differences for students - it is just giving every student an opportunity to get the best of their abilities. For me, it’s not some kind of division of ”good” and ”bad” or ‘’successful” or ”unsucessful” students.
An important aspect of school failure is of course the teaching quality and techers in general. But on the other hand, if a student just does not want to study or is constantly disturbing the work of the other students and als the teacher, then there is nothing that a school or a teacher can possibly do. Forcing or punishments never help. So it is important that the school and families are co-working instead of blaming one another for a student’s failure.
It may sound like a cliche, but if there is a will, there is a way, and a student who genuinely wants to learn and study, should be accepted the way she/he is and not be compared too much with other students capacity and because of that fail the school.
Best regards,
Katrin Pihl.
School failure depends on many factors which are connected among one another.
Pedagocig education has to be changed, because nowadays children are influenced by so many amentities that a teacher is not a teacher at all, a teacher has to be a psychologist. If it´s not possible to acquire knowledge about psychology during the study, teachers should be assisted by psychologists in classes.
Another problem is the family social status. Children who grow up in a low stratum often have problems in school. Educational advertising, state assistance and prevention should be more advanced.
Education in school has to become more individual. There are more than twenty children in a class, so they can´t be on the same level. It´s impossible for one person to teach individually. We need more teachers!
Another very important element is education in general – parents prepare their kids for life!

Personally I would not hinder the artificial failures because of development are equally as important as successes. The failure of our reinforcements, pointing out errors, and moreover, we do test our sincere interest in the matter.
As failure can not but be regarded, by focusing on other activities to interfere in the classical curriculum. Sometimes it does well for our future to throw off the stereotyped scenarios, as well as promote new teaching methods, the same argument might look like on other activities which are indirectly connected with education in schools.
It depends on how to build success and how it can solve. Instruction - knowledge.
Avoiding failure means not doing 100 percent of the activity.
Failure is certain lines are crossed with the fact that we do not have the ability to create this border.
I think it’s important to remember that not all failure depends on a student’s lack of understanding or a medical condition. In some cases it could be that the student is bored. If the teacher is not creating curiosity within the student it might seem like the student is having a hard time understanding, whilst he truly is not feeling engaged. Obviously all factors must be considered when dealing with a student failing. And teachers must not be afraid to think that it could have something to do with their methods of teaching.
Here we also speak about the importance of individual training, depending each and every ones level, but I cannot see how a teacher is able to reach a goal like this when the government more and more seems to want to save money and have more pupils per teacher. In this case it could be necessary with assistants to do the follow up on those who need it, but that might even hurt the child more than it does good; being part of a group of pupils who need extra attention can increase the feeling of failure, and it becomes like a circle of bad emotions that can seem hard to break.
It’s important that a child is stimulated and motivated and that it is taken into account all his surroundings, not leaving the child feeling different, stupid or useless.
School failure may affect the life of a child for all his life. Sometimes in positive way, but more often in a negative way. A child should not feel inferior in relation to other people and children. Position self-esteem to appreciate the child should get longer in the family, education. Nowadays, in many states, for example, in the first years of school attendance dropped from the markings, instead, the student is evaluated by worlds, sentences. It’s such a subtle form of assessment. In my opinion the problem is that some individuals are unable to reconcile their results with themself. Child with health reason and access, when his marks are lower, in the future will do more. Children with disturbed psyche will distance themselves from other “smart” and are placed on the so-called “worse” or “stupid”. The school work of psycho-pedagogical advisors, who diagnosed the child has to start right in child´s family environment, contacting parents and propose joint cooperation. Each person is individual, so treatment should be based on a detailed analysis of the environment in which children live, grow up, treatment should attend all family members.
The school failure is becoming more and more important and I think it became a phenomenon of society. There are a lot of reasons that a child could be in school failure, but what is certain it’s that this phenomenon affects the person entirely, as well at the level psycological as social. But before to speak of school failure we have to speak of child in trouble. The notion of “school failure” it’s hard to define, there is no typical profile of the child in trouble. It can be due to medical problems, relational difficulties, problems within the family, any others social problems as well as more little problems (like lack of sleep or dreamer child) but when they are accumulated it can be more dramatic for the school success of the child because of a decrease of attention for example. Children are in school failure for so many reasons, that’s why each society needs adapted programs for them.
But, I think that the school failure is not necessarily linked directly to the child himself. The problem can be exterior. Firstly, it can be because of the way of teaching, so directly linked to a teacher who doesn’t apply the good means to make progress the child. Indeed, the teachers above all have to make everything for their pupils believe and trust in themselves and their work from their youngest age. They must not have to denigrate them.
Also I think that the governments do not succeed in setting up adapted policies. Or it’s maybe (or certainly…) the too heavy budget that they should use who makes them “commitments” stagnate…
If we talk about the young people, I think there is a problem of thinking about their future and the difficulties to find a job later, because even a child who has never been in school failure and even, who was in school success during all his schooling, can have a lot of difficulties to find a job later, a good one as a less important one. So I think in many of cases, a lot of young people think that there are easier means to earn money, without pass by the school success. (like send drugs or other…). And it’s also like that that we realize the enormous problem which there is in our societies..
To this day, even if factors are many and different, I think that the only persons who really can change things (even a little bit) are the politics, even if all this is a phenomenon of society who includes a great deal of different problems. Must still they have to apply their “program”, and good ones… It must be true, otherwise there would be no such great differences in the rates of failures and successes among the different countries..
Best regards, Manon Charton.
We often listen the expression “school failure”, but we don’t know exactly what does it means, and what are the explanations to this phenomenon.
It can be caused by a lot of factors, and that is why it is so difficult to avoid or to solve.
School failure can come from the family, or from the teacher, from the student, from the school in general or the methods can be inadapted for some pupils.
This problem has to be taken seriously because its consequences can be disastrous.
School failure can lead to depression, behavior troubles, lack in self-confidence or stress and anxiety.
Some surveys have shown that a pupil can be in school failure since the nursery school.
In my opinion, this problem has to be solved as soon as possible in the schooling in order to limit its damages for the pupil.

Firstly schools have big problems with finding right person for teaching job. There are so many teachers who are not qualified. That’s what I think. At least in my country. Teaching is supposed to be a job where person teaches, not just speaks about things and then control exams like how much in those exams are their words. Teachers are supposed to motivate students and give students different things and points to think about. Motivating students is the most important thing!
Secondly schools have problems with dropping out of school students. Teachers, students, parents and school should cooperate and make students feel like they matter. Most teachers just give up, when student can’t do something, but that’s not the way it supposed to be. Teachers need to work harder and communicate with students individually and personally.
Thirdly there are many students who need more attention. There are so many students who are confused and they need to be understand. In every person has some hidden talent. Teachers schould light their way, not make that way even harder.
Students are affraid to ask help, because there are many teachers who humiliates them.
I know personally teachers who just want’s to bully students, because they have been bullied when they were at school. That’s just so wrong in so many ways. And schools just let those things to happen and doesn’t listen students.
More individual job, more attention, more believe and students become more educated.
Nowadays, school failure is a huge problem all around the world. In fact, in our developed societies, having a great career is something predominant in everyone’s life. First of all because it gives a salary but above all because it give you a social status and recognition. I think that without a good job you have less chance to be well integrated in the society, and generally the only way to have a good job is to be successful at school. So school failure represents an exclusion at school level but it is also an exclusion from social life. That is why educational system has to fight against school failure.
I have heard a lot of time that children who are not good at school at a moment of their schooling will never be successful in school things. And even sometimes that they have to switch to a new type of school, mostly to professional school. And that is maybe the biggest problem, the fact that all the society consider that when a child can not learn in the same way that the others, it is impossible for him be successful at school. That is to say, there is a lot of things to change in educational system. We know that the best way is to implement a personalized education, but for educational system, this should be a huge challenge, as in organization than budget view.
In France, this problem is as important as in other countries, that is why the government is fighting against school failure. In fact, an estimate of 2009, from the French newspaper «France Soir » proves that at least 15% of primary education schoolchildren have got difficulties at school. That is why the French government have searched solutions: the first one is to implement supplementary hours of classes for the children who have got difficulties, plus supplementary hours during school holidays. But could we impose the same teaching to children who have got different problems? We have said before that it is not possible. In France, since 2008, there is a day of « Insubordination to School Failure ». The main goal of this day is to propose innovating solutions to fight against school failure and make that school failure become a priority for French government.
But I think that if the government can not accept the fact that it will cost a lot of money reforming educational system, it is impossible doing anything against school failure.

School failure can be due to many reasons, and it can start in the beginning of the schooling, for example in France, some studies has highlight that there is a problem since the nursery school. Compare to the other countries in Europe, French people are more focus on the program, the learning, and the evaluation, but children as to learn in a more funny way. A child who begin the primary school with difficulties will keep them during all it’s schooling.
Moreover, in France, there is also a problem because their is too many students for a single professor. The professor can’t be effective for everyone, because everybody doesn’t has the same level, and some students lag behind. And the French policy is to avoid reduplications, so if a students start with problems, and keep going in the next class level, it will goes worth and worth.
Then in college, I think that the problem is more a lack of advice to students on wich courses to follow. The educative system in France is made in a way in which students in secondary school have a lot a different subjects, sin specialization, and arrive in college without specials ability. So we have to choose between lot’s of differents specialties without any clue. I have lot’s of friends who starts many things, before finding the good course of study. But I think many people stop their studies before the certificate because of the big mess which is the educative system in France.
What can the politicians make to improve their system ??I read a study who show that it is Finland who has the highest level of performance for it’s academic system, maybe all countries should do as they do.

I think, fear of school during adolescence, truancy, failure, learning difficulties, and sometimes results in chronic disease of interest such as school-related problems. To oppose these problems, strange behavior, drug use, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety may also increase as a result of the use or atkol.

School is the first social institution at child s life. Brings the very valuable information to the childs , and socializing childs. School failure is a process where a student slips farther and farther behind his peers and gradually disconnects from the educational system. The end result of school failure is dropping out before graduation. Many cases of school failure happen among students who have the ability and intelligence to succeed but who are unable or unwilling to apply these abilities in the school setting.
Students can begin the slide into failing patterns at any time during their school career, but school failure is more likely to occur at transitional stages, such as when graduating from elementary to middle school or after a family move to a new school system. Failing grades typically are symptoms of emotional, behavioral, or learning problems.Why Do People Fail in School? People who fail in school may feel “stupid,” but emotional or mental health problems and “hidden” learning disorders, not low intelligence, often are the root causes of their inability to meet the standards of a school. There are several factors that can lead to school failure, among them depression, anxiety, problems in the family, and learning disabilities…Depression , Anxiety, Problems in the family, Learning disabilities etc.
As I said earlier, everyone will benefit from youth good education. That’s why everyone should be interest to decrease failure in education. Problem is multileveled. Starting with educational programs, schools and teachers preparation, parents involvements and finish on kids individual interests.
Diagnosis should be the first step with fighting the problem but again on every level of problem. Not only kids should be checked but programs, schools, teachers, parents as well. That will give us basic point of view where to start repairing system of education.
Problem with prevention is even more complicated. Its obvious that students groups should be smaller, teachers should treat each students more individual and programs should be more related to students needs but it sounds easy on paper. Its also obvious that parents should communicate with teachers and help with kids education. But I feel like nowadays its impossible to do it right away. It all requires money or time input and we(generally) miss these goods. So what to do? Someone said to build system from begging. It is good idea but it will never work nowadays. Others would change whole system. It might also work but its not going to happen.
I feel like the best what we can do is to focus on our individual role of kids education. Some of us will be teachers, other will work in government and most of us will be parents. Focusing on our own role will improve education step by step.
All thebest,
Karol Wasielewski
In order to be made to ensure the child’s education must be understood all the reasons why a child is incapable of learning, it is necessary to clarify any issues, and teacher competence in the child’s Technical capacity to understand and process the information received. All of this can be done through the analysis and monitoring the situacion.

School failure is a serious problem and a really big challenge to deal with. I agree that it may be caused by many different factors. For the school failure we can blame the living environment of a child, parents, friends and relationships which all can influence a child… Also home situation is very important and can affect child behaviour and attitude a lot. Parents should be a role model, always help and support their child in education and prepare for the future life. If a child has the motivation and encouragement at home I think that it’s easier for him to succeed. Unfortunately sometimes the problem is in a child and his/her bad attitude, when he/she doesn’t care much about school. In that case it’s harder to convince him about learning importance, but it’s a challenge for parents and teachers as well. I think that a friendly cooperation of pupils, parents and teachers is a good idea and can help a lot to prevent a school failure. Every pupil is individual and needs attention and individual methods of learning to make it. Teaches should be an experienced guides and friendly partners, also communication between teachers and pupils should be well because in my opinion if a child feels good and understood at school it’s less likely for him to fail and it gives him motivation.

In my opinion there are many reasons of failing. Usually if most of us hear that the child failed at school we think that he is not capable and lazy. Of course that can be one of the causes for it too, but I believe that there is always another way for guiding the child that this should not happen. There are more talented kids and there are weaker ones, but even the weakest child has something in him, something that he is talented or gifted in and of course the teachers and the parents play a big role in this and they have to help a child to develop one or few skills at least, so he would not be a complete failure. There are many other problems that can lead a child to failing at his studies, I think that the family has a major involvement in it and if there are problems at home usually the child is lost and not motivated at doing anything and just basically can give up all of his or her studies.
So there can be so many issues of failing, but I think that every single one have some kind of solution and family and teachers should be their guides of helping a child to develop and prevent any kind of failure.

School failure is the development in where a student is falling behind with his peers and progressively seperates themselves from the educational system altogether. The final result of school failure is when the student leaves school before they have taken their final exams to move on to further education. Most of the times school failure happens when the student has the ability and intellect to suceed but do not want to apply their abilities within the school environment.
I do not believe that it is solely the schools problem when it comes to school failure. If it is working for the majority of students within the institute then we cannot blame it on one factor. We need to take into account the many other reasons why students may leave school or why they are underachieving. Factors that contribute to this may be; the school it self, curriculum, parents, teacher(s), community, friends (relationships), illnesses, disabilities or the fact that the students themselves do not want to continue within the school as they do not feel it is the right path for them.
We usually forget about the last point I noted. We always look for a deeper meaning as we think that there has to be ‘more to it’ than them just not wanting to go to school, so therefore the school has failed them. True or not? We need to take into account what the child really wants. They may not feel like school is the correct path for them at this moment and therefore return to school at a later date. There are also many other routes in todays world where children can get an education, it may be through access courses later in life, on the job training etc. If a student wants to follow their dream early and if they have the talents to do so, who are we o stop them? Yes, we may feel irresponcible if they fail but what if they didn’t? We can debate all day about the pro’s and con’s for both statements.
However if the route of the problem is deeper and more meaningful, then people who fail in school may have one or more of the contributing factors that make them fail which are; depression, anxiety, problems in the family, and learning disabilities. It’s not always that the child has not got the intelligence to proceed.
School failure need to be identified as early as possible so they are able to receive the help they need. Many students will feel detatched from the school system and will therefore not know how to ask for help, thus it will be up to the teacher, parent etc. to confront the student, listen and guide them in the correct path. There are different ways in which a parent or teacher can help the child for instance; help them identify their strengths and showing them career options that use these strengths or encourage them to participate in school clubs so they feel more attached to the school.
In conclusion, I feel that the education system works for many (majority) of students and we can not soley blame it on the reason for school failure. I do however believe that it is a contributing factor but therefore so is almost everything around the child themselves.
Preventing school failure should be one of the most important tasks of the modern school.
Failure is not only unpleasant for the child, and trouble for his family. Bad experiences often affect the overall development of individuals, on her psyche, motivation, an image of itself, thereby contributing to serious social consequences.
From my point of view the main problem , not allowing to solve school failures, is an educational process that is constantly changing due to political, economic and social aspects ( the changes in daily life among the new technologies). Children are in the middle of all sorts of changes. Are influenced by variable interactions, stemming from the world around him. Therefore there is no universal recipe for combating contemporary problems. It is necessary to diagnose the child and the environment surrounding them itself and try to find the most effective methods of treatment of children with various difficulties in school. The task of schools is to prepare students for later life, to overcome difficulties, as well as to form an enthusiasm to work. Student must have the motivation to learn. In the prevention of school failure family play a big role, because successful in school depend on a family home atmosphere and from properly caring for a child.

The web page of European Commission says that today, about 14% of all pupils drop out of school each year. Fourteen percents is too much! The Commission has set up goals to reduce the rate of average drop-out below 10 % by 2020. The plan focuses on three areas, which are prevention, intervention and compensation. I agree with the Commission entirely, but I’m a little concerned, how the goals can be reached in all over Europe. Every European country should set the goals for themselves and do their best to reach them, but is it realistic? Does every country have the recourses, possibilities or will to improve the system?
(source: http://ec.europa.eu/news/culture/110202_en.htm)
Dropping out of school can be the beginning of a vicious circle of unemployment, poverty or serious social problems. It is a real problem and needs to be taken seriously in every levels of the educational system. The blame of the school failure should not be put on only one factor, because it may be the result of social, political, economical, familial, educational, etc. factors, as it was mentioned in the article. In my opinion cooperation between different parties is essential, but it is important to approach the situation student-oriented, trying to find out what the real reasons behind the school failure are.
Teacher education plays an important role in the matter, because even if the orders and the money comes from upper level, educational staff is the final party, which is dealing with the problem every day. Are the teachers of tomorrow prepared well enough to deal with the situation?

School failure is very common these days and its reasons can be mental, genetical or environmental.
I agree with the step to obtain information about the family background, a psychopedagogical diagnosis through an interview is an important step of trying to solve this problem.
My opinion about the importance of individual education matches the one in the article. A class of 25 students should not be seen as one homogenic group, but be personalized and try to see the individual needs and differences of each student. But how can one teacher individually supervise 25 children or teenagers??
Often the reason for school failure is the fact that every kid prefers a different teaching method and also has an other learning type. Therefor it is necessary that the teacher uses various types of teaching in class, periods of open learning, presentations by students, group works, visual aid from power point presentations, etc.
Personal reasons can also be the explanation of temporal school failure: problems at home, the divorce of their parents, the death of a family member, puberty, end of relationship with his/her girlfriend/boyfriend, etc.
It is therefor the teacher’s responsability to talk to the student him-/herself, his parents or friends and find out the reason of the school failure and then try to solve it together.

This article is a very interesting one as it discusses a problem that is seen quite alot within society today. To begin why are students failing within the educational system? Well in my opinion it can be due to factors such as to much pressure from parents and society to do well, peer pressure, students not being in the right level classes and also as a result of the student not receiving the right help. Nowadays we are seeing more and more students within the educational system who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, literacy problems, physical or mental disabilities and so they need that little bit extra in order for them to get by! If the help is not offered or giving it is clear to see why many students are failing, the students then loose motivation and interested. As a result they then fail or in some cases quit the educational system all together.
I feel it is the parents role first and fore most to make sure their children don’t fail(but not to the extent of pressuring them and setting unrealistic goals for them). Instead to give them love, support and the help they need in order to succeed. From here I think it is then the teachers role to ensure the students do not fail or loose focus on their goals. I agree to the full that “…each child is different..” and that “…education should be personalised”. I feel strongly that it is the teachers role to accommodate for the different abilities that are within a class. Things such as keeping progress reports will ensure that one see’s when a student is slacking and where the problems lie. Therefore then being able to assist the student be it extra help or grinds classes to catch up. I think the teacher should not matter the circumstances encourage, motivate and reward students. However, I do feel that to a certain extent it is the also the students role to make sure they don’t fail. There is only so much parents, teachers and the government can do to assist students, but while that push is there for them I feel they must avail of the help that is given to them and work as best they can with what they have!
In the past students were not offered as much help as they are today when it comes to receiving an education. For example many school now have SNA’s within the classroom setting. These ‘Special Needs Assistance’ are with the student from the beginning to the end of the school day in order to assist them in areas such as writing, with their classroom work and even with their homework. Lastly I feel that when the issue of failing comes about or in some cases has happened, In my opinion the teacher, parents a and or guardians along with the student should work as a team to explore the different routes in order for them to get back on track and in some cases back into the educational system!
Sarah Geasley
People learn in different ways, and the way the educational program is made does not fit everyone. I agree that it is important to involve parents and teachers to prevent failure in a child that shows the signs of not being able to cope with the tasks he or she is given. The fact that everyone is different and learn in different ways should make way for a new educational system with more possibilities for the students and parents of children with difficulties to adapt to the current system.
Ingeborg Anna Bakken
In my point of view, this article is very interessting, bacause it deals with one of the main problems in our society, the failure of education in his different stages is the core of for a lot of problems of the today generation. o much money is spend for education but at some points, the education politic loses track of thereal problem: Education and every form of developement is part of our personal life. To work sufficent with children you need to keep one busy with the personal task of education, personal and individual.
And thats the point of the article: If Problems of any kind emerge they need o be solved in a personal way.
Scolar support needs to include not just the direct hauling in school, but their needs to be a net that covers up for the child. This net is the culture in which he scolar grows up: It involve behaviour and support of familiy(especially parents), school(especially teachers), health care, etc.
I think this subject is extremly interessting and important, but at the same time it is underestimated by the people.
School failure is a common problem in today’s society, in the past this problem was as extensive however it was not approached in an appropriate manner. In the past the failure of a student was either blamed solely on the student or the educator, however nowadays we understand that many variables need to be taken into account to successfully determine the cause of a student’s poor academic success. I wholeheartedly agree that to prevent school failure it is essential to engage in parents, teachers and students equally as each play a vital role in a student’s academic success. It is important as a parent to encourage children with their education, parents need to dedicate time to helping and supporting their children with their school work. I also feel that parents need to stress the importance of education to their children from an early age. Parents need to play a strict role in relation to their child’s education for example insisting and checking that homework is done every night. In saying this parents also need to prevent themselves from putting too much pressure on their child’s education as this can cause a lot of stress for the student making them resent school work and the pressure it causes. Expecting too much from your child can cause them to rebel. Parents also need to learn that in most situations they cannot blame the teacher for their child’s failure in school. A common reaction for parents is to blame the educator without taking all the variables into account. The role of the teacher is that a teacher must be committed to her students to ensure they reach their full potential. It is important for a teacher to encourage their students, but even more important that they gain the respect of their students as without respect a teacher is worthless. A teacher must monitor each student’s personal progress and offer extra help and support to student’s struggling to keep up. It is then important to monitor the progress of the class as a whole and maintain a pace suitable to everyone. It is also critical that a teacher monitors students who she feels may have learning disabilities so that remedial help can be offered. In the past learning difficulties where not recognised making it extremely difficult for students suffering from these disabilities. However today remedial help is on offer in every school. Finally it is the role of the student to apply a mature and constructive attitude towards their studies.
To be honest this subject is controversial and is something that I have been fighting against in my home school so I got emotional and I wrote almost 2 sheets on this subject and then deleted most of it, so here is my final piece:
I have to agree with the author and say that school failure is a problem that needs solving. And its hard to find a simple way to do that but I hate the fact that if some people see its too hard they don´t deal with it at all.
To begin with - there are no failures, there are only the ones who need more time. Its a wrong thinking that if you fail you must be stupid - I have seen plenty of geniuses failing.
In my opinion the method that brings problematic children closer to school should be individual but not separating. They should not be sent to special schools, but a little bit more personalized stand towards them should give them something to rely on. I think tutoring system really helps. I have met and also been giving some lessons to children who´s mental ability is high but they just don`t know how to concentrate in school and if you once miss the train, its hard to catch one later.
Why a special school is not a right way to deal with the problem? Because when children with same problem are in the same institution, it gives them plenty of options to create some new ways to not attend school. Furthermore, seeing more problematic children around makes the school even more abnormal and unpleasant institution for them. And from my point of view its necessary for a young person to be in the middle of different type of people. School is like a mini world - you see all different type of people, you create relationships and you get the platform for the rest of your life.
So my thoughts to solve the situation:
1. Smaller schools, smaller study groups help to make study process more personal. Its easier to keep children motivated and see their abilities. (As a child having some stadiums of hyperactivity i attended my first 6 years in a school that had around 30 students, in my class 6 - teacher had time for me and further studies were easier for me.)
2. No separating youngsters who have possibility to fail from normal schools. Its harder to fit in after few years in special school. Who wants to feel rejected?
3. Toutoring for the children who need help.
4. Its important to make teachers see the problems - my personal experience shows that even if teachers see a problem they try to pretend not seeing that. It should be teachers task to select the ones who have problems, because most of parents don´t see whats happening in school. In Estonia regular meetings (twice a year) between student, teacher and parents have reduced school failure.
5. School psychologist who is available every schoolday. Appointments with the children that have problems to see the reasons and fix the problems.
But what is most important - forcing doesn´t help - its important to get and keep children interested.

I think this article is very relevant to the problem many schools are currently facing. I agree with the articles fundamental ideas and in particular with the following quote “each child is different, so that education should be personalized.” I think that the success rate of students depends on many different factors including their personal approach to education, whether or not they see it as something they have to do or is it something they want to do well in & therefore they are willing to work hard to achieve the grades they want. I think it also depends on their families approach to education and whether they are getting enough motivation from home without too much pressure. Finally I think how their school system works and how their teachers educate. I know from past experience if you don’t enjoy going to certain lessons then you obviously won’t work as hard in them as opposed to your favourite subjects. Just last year more than 4,300 students failed their Leaving Cert Maths (State exams for entry to 3rd level education), while failure rates in science subjects at both higher and ordinary level were far higher than in other subjects. Failure rates were also relatively high across the main business subjects. I believe this is due to some of these subjects being compulsory and therefore students don’t get to choose some of the subjects they would take instead which would be more relevant to the career they wish to pursue. I think this is unfair and these kind of results reflect badly on the education system in Ireland. I think students should get a more varied choice of subjects to study or at least certain subjects shouldn’t be compulsory as it would give students a greater choice and allow them to study what they are really interested in. This would hopefully result in them gaining better grades and at least then teachers would only have pupils in there class that actually want to be there and are not forced to attend.
Thank You,

hello,
the article reflects a general problem for every school.unfortunately the faliure of students is inevitable, so we have to face with this problem instead of escaping.the reason of this problem can be the lack of a strong educational system or different performance.then what should be done to prevent this problem?
well,treatment should consider the student·s sense of self-worth.students shoul be ready to make progress they should be encoured.the correcting programs should be motivating.another important point is that individual, personal training should be aplied to reduce the differences among the students.if these are aplied i am sure we can reduce the students failure.

I think that the poor results in school children depend on family relationships and teacher attitudes towards children. I think that parents should seriously look into strict child engaged in learning, it is encouraged to learn more. After all, science is a very important thing in our lives, our future. My opinion is very important for the student-teacher ratio. If the teacher is enough and manage to attract pupils and try to learn it. After all, the teacher work force, able to attract pupils to learn it. After all, the parents and allow children to school because the teacher knows that the work force more attractive to students that they learn.
Parents and teachers should know and remember that a young person should always remind him to promote the school and know-how is a large part of life, without which not go away.
The failure of the school is not necessary down to the problem of the school itself.There are various factors that cause failure of a school. Parents and students are too factors to blame for the failure. Again it follows the idea of a child’s motivation and the parents influence. If the parents take interest in their children and the schools welfare then this surly will have a positive affect. They can measure the reasons for failure but can they truthfully identify they truthfully identify the true reasons for a school failure? We are all aware of a person’s failure , they give up become uninterested. However from my experience a school began to drop in numbers because of a schools failure to recognize bad education and curriculum by a teacher. However parents did not give up on their children, they new their child’s education was more important. So they changed schools. They understood that any longer in the school and their child may have been the failure as well as the school itself. It was then however the parents job to intervene and ensure that the schools numbers didn’t drop and changes were mad to ensure the success of the school again. Its a parents jobengage in their child’s education so if problems do arise changes can be made.
I think that different factors play a part of a child’s failure on school. But in the end when is something a failure? Isn’t it a way of learning also, learning from your failures? Well anyway I think like many people already said before that parents also play a role when it comes to failures of a child, for example the pressure they put onto their child to preform better then they did on school. I think this is wrong ever child is unique and there for always learns different. The most important is that the child is being accepted for who he is.

If we would like to fight the school failures, we would have to cancel all the school system and build everything from the top. On one hand, it is not a bad idea, as there are plenty of alternative schools, of which pupils are much more succesful in their future education and life. The problem is, that nowadays these kinds of schools are private, which makes them unreachable for most children’s parents. And the state school system wouldn’t change, as it would cost a fortune, with a huge chance to fail, as changing such a huge system as state educational system is impossible to be done without mistakes. So the circle encloses in here.
But it would be good for the state to cooperate with the alternative schools, i.e. paying benefits to the talented children’s parents, so they could pay for such school. Of course it is still a dream, yet still I hope that someday states will be aware of the advantages of alternative education.

In my opinion a lot depends on education at home and on how much time parents dedicate to their children how they encourage them to study and involve them in activities after school. If they are successful they can motivate their children even more and I think that results can be visible. I am also teaching children football at school. I see that is very important for children to get along well with their parents because then parents are able to encourage them even more to participate on one extra hour of football training after classes.

Academic failure begins by the system and ends by the individual.
Systmes have to be improved again and again. If the failures increase accumulate and this again and again, for this time it will be the first contact point for improvements. Important is that the contract teacher, wins the confidence of the individual and grapple regarding the difficulties and of course also promote the individual in the lessons. Furthermore it is important that the parents of the childs talk to them in confidence about the difficulties at school and with it the problems and try to find together a solution for it. For example with private coaching.
For the teachers they can talk in the meetings about the individuals problems and try to find solutions.
Definitely by academic failure it is better to drill down on these topic and see it from the individual case. Mostly academic failure begins by the teacher and the method of teaching and goes over the groupdynamic and depends also on the individuals attitude and the upbringing of the parents. All these factors stay in interdependence to each other.
In detail try to find the one-on-one conversation to the child/student and win the confidence to find out the degree of difficulties and problems.
Intra-class ought be so flexible and recognize it early and adjust the nivel respectively the average of the knowledge of the group.
Well, this is no guarantee, that my opion will ever stay on these. Because with the everyday changes in the world and persons mind and the mass of media and informations and with it the growing of knowledge, the aspect of opinion will maybe change.
Educational system is faced up many difficulties. As we see there is no one, strong, clear system of education. There are allways some disadventages of a particular idea of the reform. There are also same facts that the people the people who are responsible for educational system should take into consideration many factors.Things such as mental level,the study of language,time-space ect. should be the priority during creation the law. It is also the good thing to involve teachers and parents to take part in the task of education!

I think that a big cause for a school failure today are parents. I often see that parents either expect too much from their children either they don’t really care about their school work. It is very uncommon to find parents whose expectations come from a child. Parents forget that children are individuals and that they have their own wishes and goals. Because parents set goals for their children their motivation drops and that can lead to school failure. In the other way parents don’t want to involve into childs education and want the teachers to do everything instead of them. This is not an optimal enviroment for a child to develope and in this way they don’t give what they could. In this case they lose motivation as well and don’t or have very low goals. This is why parents and school should work more closely and have more personal contact with which the school could in one way educate parents. But as I can see todays life expects too much from us so parents often really don’t have the time or energy and in this way they miss their childrens wishes, so I sure am not the one to judge.

There are a ot of resons why some kids have failure in school. Relationships at home are big active on child’s behaviour and his thinking. If the kids don’t have appropriate role model, than we all know that they have less chance for success. Problems can be also divorcea, alcoholism, lack of money in familly.
The second problems are peers who force the child on wrong ways in his life. We can’t forget the teachers who also have to be god role model to children, but somethimes they act like they are against to him. I had a lot of bad experiences with teachers who didn’t like me. In kindergarten and also in school.
It was really hard for me, because i was guilty for everyting, but still i didn’t gave up. I fought for myself and my rights. I had support from my mother and thats why i made it. But some kids don’t have support from home, they are to afraid of everything, some of them think that is actually their fault so they just give up, get bad ratings and everything goes down.
So all of this facts are very important for child- he needs to feel that he is loved, accepted and respected!
Dear Lejla:
This is the most important: the child “needs to feel that he is loved, accepted and respected!” and after this as an active frame that involve everything regaring the child work the most professional you can.

Estoy de acuerdo que hay muchas causas del frasco escorial y también pienso que es un problema muy grande y que nos asista desde muchos años. En me opinión este problema toque mucha gente en cada edad y lo que es peor hasta ahora es una cosa que nadie no pueda solucianarlo. ¿Y de quién es la culpa? Por supuesto de los alumnos, los profesores, el sistema de educación, los padres- es fácil decirlo quién es la culpa. Sin embargo tenemos que recordar que todos alumnos son diferentes y cada de ellos, algunas veces, necesita otra forma de aprendizaje. No toda gente tiene los mismos posibilidades y competencias para estudiar. Entonces en eses casos no podemos decir sobre ´´fracaso escorial´´. Al reves, la gente responsable por sistema de ducación debería hacer algo que pueda ayudar la gente quién tiene problemas con estudiar. Por supuesto existe un grupo de alumnos que causan el frasco ecorial solo por su culpa, es decir que algunos desde pequeños no quieren obtener un gran saber, les interesa más hacer las cosas menos importantes como pasar tiempo cos sus amigos.. Me parece que existe muchos suluciones muy faciles para hacer algo con es minoría que de verdad es como mayoría en ese tiempo, en siglo XX… Hay que hacer distinción entre los alumnos más capacidades y ellos que no tengan talentoso de memoria. Siempre podemos resolver los problemas , solo que tenemos que hacer es nuestra gana e ingeniosidad, nada más.

I agree with the most of the comments that have been made but mostly I believe that the failure of school depends on the change in school and our social live. Everything changes all the time, that makes it more complicated. For children it is important to give them safety and stabilty in education. Then it also depends on the realtionship between a teacher and his students. Like it is written in the article it is necessary to follow the childs individual development to act early as possible at requirement.
One other misstake that we used to do in school is that we think to long in the future. We are planing and preaparing because we want to reach our goals. Our expectation are to heavy and leads to failure. Instead of concentrate more in the world of today we try to se everything in long terms.

The failure of schools is a theme that focuses on students, parents and teachers.
How to identify the source of school failure? It’s hard to give an effective method for everyone. This is best seen on a concrete example of the student, which is the family, housing, education, parents … etc. I think that it is hard to get parents to cooperate with the teacher or child and support programs which do not deliver the expected results … and a child feels worse because of this. Also, science loses its meaning if it just does not understand that it learns for himself or herself. This may seem silly, but I think that love helps to combat school failure. A child that has some support feels safe. I also believe that parental mistake is the use of rewards or penalties for the grades … the most important thing is to believe that science makes sense and that we learn for themselves. Completely different matter if it involves an obstacle such as mental retardation or another situation where the student can’t defeat alone. Then the intervention is needed such as a psychologist or counselor.
In my opinion, speaking about the diagnosis and treatment should also be developed in more detail the issue of prevention. Not all parents seem to realize how much they can do in this area. Also the Ministry of Education could do more in that direction … ie introducing the youngest classes take learning to play chess.
Grzegorz Stępień
Profesores y padres conjuntamente toman parte activa en la tarea educativa. Por eso, lo más importante según mi opinion, es el tiempo dedicado al niño por padres y lo, que provocan el niño en interes por afficiones nuevas; el arte, las lenguas extranjeras, deportes, la cultura.
Me parece raro que en éste artículo no haya ni palabra acerca de la sociedad, los amigos o el ambiente del alumno. Donde se crie y se forma. La compañía puede despertar el interes o ampliar esfera de interes del niño.
I have to say, that I agree with article. I think when we say “school failure” the first thought is, that the child is not smart enough or he’s not studying, and that’s why he’s not capable to pass the exams. It really makes bad influence for their self-confidence and so with every task that they have to do it and they don’t pass it less motivated are. Also, the parents have a big role in this case. They have to know what’s “wrong” with their child and they have to accept him as he is, without any pressure.
Schools should be prepared for all problems and find the best solution for child.

Causes of failure in schools come from the environment in which the pupil is, it can be family, friends, schoolmates, social environment, school environment etc. To deal with these failures is necessary to involve all- parents, teachers and students, like you wrote in your article. I agree that every child should be viewed differently and that should work with children individually. Each failure has its own cause and the way it can be prevented.
Sintija Pleca
Every student’s learning ability,intelligence is different from each other’s.Learning is as special as fingerprint.It is necessary that students and their family have to include cooperation each other for school failure’s impairment.Every student must know something about every subject .But they must continue their education which they are successful in a subject.This situation happens that when various intelligence is used by teachers.Inability of curriculum increases school failure.Cause of school failure is not only students.Firstly families must educate their children .Teacher and curriculum must lead students which they are successful in a subject.Teacher mission is finding schol failure’s reasons .Because teacher studied this subject.
Firstly students’ family must help that they must be successful in school.Families must confuse their children .Curriculum must show different subjects for students.Teacher must lead to student that they are successful in a subject.Students must effor to be successful
School failure is a process where a student slips farther and farther behind his peers and gradually disconnects from the educational system.
People who fail in school may feel “stupid,” but emotional or mental health problems and “hidden” learning disorders, not low intelligence, often are the root causes of their inability to meet the standards of a school. There are several factors that can lead to school failure, among them depression, anxiety, problems in the family, and learning disabilities. Depression has been shown to be a leading cause of school failure in young people with learning disabilities. . It is a condition that can make people feel sad for long periods of time.Anxiety is a feeling of worry about a possible danger or an uncomfortable situation that is intense enough to interfere with a person’s ability to concentrate and focus. Students can have genuine reasons to be anxious. Students also may bring their problems at home to school with them. If a student’s family is experiencing violence, unemployment, alcohol or drug use by a family member, problems with the law, or any other upsetting experience, it can be difficult to concentrate on schoolwork. Learning disabilities are conditions that interfere with gaining specific academic skills, such as reading or writing. Learning disorders can hinder a person’s ability to concentrate or to process or remember information. When these difficulties are recognized early, certain teaching strategies can help a student overcome the learning disability.
School failure need to be see as early as possible. This task usually falls to the teacher, school counselor, or parents, because many failing students are disconnected from the educational system. . Parents can help by taking a genuine interest in their child’s school life and attending school events ,listening to and understanding their child’s concerns about school . Teachers can help by developing learning plans that support the student’s strengths ,referring the student for evaluations for possible learning disabilities ,providing referrals to programs that offer extra academic help or arranging peer tutoring ,teaching study skills and strategies to support learning . Mental health professionals can help by listening to the student’s concerns about family and school difficulties ,performing evaluations for learning disabilities,working with the school to formulate appropriate learning strategies for the student .
I think there are many reasons of failing. And there are a lot of different causes. Students who drop out of school don’t need to have a real reason. Sometimes they think that the study is not interesting or they prefer to go out. I think this is their own fault and not one of the teacher. However if there are students that are really trying hard, but still fail the test. I think a teacher should notice this and maybe offer tutoring. To make sure the student doesn’t fail again. And if they fail again, the student is maybe not able for this course and has other strengths. And then those strengths should be developed.
Then there is also the family left. If the student has a problem in the family and that is the cause that he or she is not able to pass. I think the teacher should help the student to deal with this situation.
So I think that failing is the effect of the cause. And sometimes the cause needs to be helped of changed and sometimes it doesn’t.
Louise Elisabeth van der Meer
I totally agree with the statement, that educational failure is caused by different factors. Often the society blames the students for their failure, but I think that it is not that easy as it seems to be. For example in germany, there is a very defined capacity : There are too big classes, less teachers and the classrooms are also limited. Especially in big classes, when there are more than 30 pupils it s not easy for teachers to assist individual learning processes of students.
In addition I think educational failure is individual, one student has problems with learning, in another case it s a failure of the teacher…
To combat educational failure, it is necessary to cooperate in a team: Teachers, students and parents!
In my opinion educational failure is a very important topic that needs to be dealt with carefully. There are of course many different reasons that can lead to educational failure and often the failure of a child in school indicates problems of the child that are not in school, but for example in the family situation. Therefor teachers should be very aware of how to deal with educational failure. I totally agree with the mentioned point, that prevention is only possible if everyone is included: the student, parents and teachers.
Since I study special education I learned a lot about how to diagnose children and their educational problems and I think that too often educational failure is not dealt with right, simply because the teachers feel overwhelmed and don´t know how to help the child.
In my university for example only the special education teachers learn about diagnosis, which I don´t agree with, because I think this is a field every future teacher should know about, in order to be able to observe a child and its behaviour in the right way.
Regards Maren Henschel
I agree with the article. Surely a right diagnosis can really help. Parents and teachers have certainly a big role in these cases. Parents have to accept that is something wrong with the child and start to solve it. For example, spend much more time than normaly with child, training with him the things that are difficult for him and so on…. It’s difficult, but certainly an very important task.
Teachers should such a child to choose a slightly different approach and try to help him. But child should not feel rejected by other students.
If even that does not help, then is probably the best way to find professional help.
Regards Lukas Kramsky
For me the most problematic aspect of school faliure is that it has a very bad judgement in the major society: faliure is mostly considered as a shame or lack of mental capacity of learning. This is a problem, because a school faliure can destroy the self-confidence of the pupils and causes learning difficulties in the future. School faliure should be seen as a good indicator of social, economic, familial etc difficulties, it can also shown that the pupil needs an another method or change of level of the education. The society should understand, that this can be a start of a good progress, this can help to understand the problems so after all school faliure is a positive sign.
The school failure
There exist many different reasons for school failure. These reasons have to be examined very carefully. Only a carefully examination makes the choices of an appropriate treatment possible.
The child could be overtaxed or not challenged enough. Here we are speaking about overtaxing. The child doesn`t refuse the subject material, but the capability of the child doesn`t make it possible for example.
Also it is necessary to have a look at the sphere of the child. The impacts of the private sector to the educational sector don`t to be understated, like also the impacts to the development in general.
Also it has to be examined, if the school failure is caused by any physical weakness. Maybe the child is really interested in learning new things and the support from the private sector (family) and public sector (school, kindergarten) is given, but the child isn`t able to do the task because of physical reasons.
Only if the result is determined carefully and meticulous, it is possible to thinking about further steps and how to threat with the school failure.
In my opinion every sector, is in demand to avoid school failure. The parents with their education at home, like also the public institution school or kindergarten. Every one of these sectors should contribute his part, to help the child. While the parents can have a personal effect to the development of the children, this maybe could be very difficult in school. The daily life in a normal school doesn`t often make it possible to care specifically at one child. In general it is common: Get the subject matter or make the year again….
In general I agree with the seven suggestions about the treatment and think they are helpful.

I agree with this article, because I think the rapid development of science and technology makes rapidly growing requirements of the school, so learning becomes difficult and not all students are able to meet the demands posed to them. Such children are not making progress at school, they often get poor reviews, and live with a sense of injustice, often they are doomed to a lack of educational success.
The term “school failure” usually defined as a clear discrepancies between the objectives of education and the achievements of school pupils and the evolution of a negative attitude towards the requirements of school youth.
Beata Klimek.
In my opinion, the main problem of the failure in the school is an environment of a student. The environment depends mainly on parents. It means that originally they have to create an friendly study atmosphere and conditions to the student. Parents can control doing homeworks, can help to understand a curriculum and can check results - failure or success.
After impossibility to succeed and if parents wish is the time to visit a professional - psychologist. There they should consult students failures and find a way how to improve the student in studying. It means to find out what are students strenghts and weaknesses. If we know that, we know what we have to improve and how.
According to students common strenghts and weaknesses, educational institutions should also improve their curriculum. Not every student is talented to languages, mathemathic or biology. But, on the other hand there are some basic knowledges what every people should know. It is the challenge for educational institutions and the creator of educational system - government to create an appropriate curricullum and an educational system. It should to learn students some basic knowledges from every subject and than, according to consultancy with psychologist and parents, to choose the best way of other students studies.
To sum up, there are three important things that create failure and also success:
1. environment created by parents
2. individual strenghts and weaknesses
3. inappropriate/appropriate school system and students aim of studies
If we would find a way how to put those three things into harmony, I thing that we could find an ideal way for everybody and after studies could every students say - Yes, I am successful.
Jan Fuzak
I think, the top priority must be detect fully and accurately what is the failure, to prevent the school failure. So we need some control mechanism for this identification.The feedback from students is very important at this situation. We need some tests, exams or some another materials which has specific criterions and features, can detect the problems.
But maybe sometimes, these are not enough. Because the student may have another problems apart from the school and lessons.So it’s important for the families to take an active role in the educational life of the student.
It’s not enough to deal with all of the failures, and maybe it’s impossible. And it may cause to leeway. Therefore, making the students realize the basic principles, emotions and thougts which lies under the misconceptions and the knowledge they can’t understand. And there might be some reactions one after another, that help the students success in the schools.
We know that we have so many problems or handicaps in our educational periods,so they cause failure in school and many people think that the reason of this failure is ‘the student.’ But I believe that the reason is not only a student but only his/her family,life style or financial problems etc.as well his/her birth,growth and health are play an important role in their education.
So,in order to overcome the school failure,teachers and families should be connect with each others and take into consideration the all points in a student’s life.moreover, they should take account of their mental level,their psychology and their capacity of doing something. finally it is very important that the treatment should be based on diagnosis. If we dont have any knowledge about the reason of failure,even if we try to deal with the problems,we cannot be successful about it.
The most important thing for the pupil in the school is teacher and classmates, in the house - the parents. Because parents the most participate in the pupils life. It is important that the teacher treat the students well and do not discriminate. Most importantly, the students feel good in the class, them can not compare with the better students than him, because not all equally capable, each getting more difficult to learn, than others. I think that teachers should not release student. They must to help with for students, they can not be ignored. For example, I know teachers who ignore the students in schools, and do not help if the students doesn’t understand something is subject.
It is also important friends, with some student interaction. Because some friends have a bad influence. School failure would not be if parents, students, teacher and the public would me more involved in school and pupils social life.

Basically I agree with the content of the article. But I think that the term “school unsuccess” is rather relative. If the child is judged in accordance with individual relation standard, it can’t be unsuccessfull. Every child is improving its knowledge during the school year, learning new things etc. So every time is more or less successfull.
School success is only the label which are teachers sticking on the pupils which doesn’t reach the same score as their classmates. Instead of focusing on children’s success they are finding mistakes in their knowledge. In my point of view this is not the good way. Let’s find positive things and let’s try to highly regard them. Good rated work is the best way how can we the child motivate to next work and how can we increase its self-confidence.

Learning problems are daily in education. They are becoming more often, mainly because they arenowadays much easier and faster to find. It is important to detect as early as possible in order to adapt teaching to the child. Learning difficulties may be associated with low IQ, poor work habits or bad conditions in the family. Research has shown that children who live in poor family situation have worse academic performance and a lot more learning problems. Children like these at home aren’t encouraged by their parents and often have to worry about other things in the family, so do not develop good study habits and also have problematic behavior. It is important that teachers recognize this, try to talk to parents, present them with a given situation, which is often very difficult, because the parents refuse to accept this. In Slovenia, in nowadays is a lot of emphasis on the detection of learning problems and finding accommodation for these children. Most of them have support and additional individual school hours. On the assessement have more time and if they have difficulties with expressing verbally, they can make all tests written. But we should not look at student results, but its progress, because this is in the process of education the most important - how many children benefited from school. Constantly it is important to encourage him, give him congratulations because only this will have a motivation for further learning.
I’m totally agree with the other comments that the pupil’s failure or success very depends on their surrounding and social basement. It also depends on the environment, relations and position of one subject in one group or a class of pupils. Also there are lot of factors which could be the base of pupil’s failure and its not the part of social basement.
I think the social environment is unchangeable or very bad changeable and its not in the competitions of the role of teacher. Teacher could help to join pupils inside the group by choosing carefully some activities and methods on the base of diagnosis. Teacher have look on every pupil individually and don’t compare their results with other pupils but with his own. Everyone is individual and its impossible to compare him with standards like many teachers are doing. For the pupil, teacher have to be a good guide and motivating person in the educational process, should be like a friend for a pupil based on good communication and solving the problems immediately.

In the strategy of resolving school failure I think it’s important to expose the changes of the whole culture that must be worn to schools. I would point out a very important menaing of comunication and participation of teachers, parents and children.
And the dialogue in this consider I think is the most important facilitator. By this I mean a school, as an open space for dialogue. In a narrow sense: teaching should be considered as a life of co-creation of the teachers, parents and students. Teachers should allow to the students and aswell the parents a wide dialogic space.
Teachers must be the ones that encourage the presence of communication in the classroom, but still lead and guide students with possibility of individual solving the problem. Only when every child in a classroom feels free to comunicate - to share his/her knowldege, opinion or feelings, the educational process is developing in a right direction.
After discussion with my fellow educators, I am satisfied that the causes of children’s failures are directly related to their social situation. In most cases is the problems in the family or children’s group. The important thing is talking with children about their problems with respect a focus on their strengths instead of weaknesses. I think this is the best way to solve this problem.

School failure:diagnosis and treatment
It is a fact that it is a wrong way to blame only the child because of his/her school failure. School failure can be related to many environmental circumstances, such as familial problems, the level of the education and financial problems…etc. And if we have so many causes , it will be necessary to take into consideration all of them in a detailed way instead of putting all the blame on the child.
As for the solution of this problem, school failure, we should firstly follow some stages of diagnosis as it is stated in the article. One of the important stages of diagnosis is the information exchange between the family and school because the school can not be with the child all the time and it is a common opinion that nobody can know somebody as well as his family can do.The child spend his/her most of the time with his family in a natural and relaxed way without any hesitation for expressing his feelings and problems. Therefore, the schools should contact with the families and exchange the necessary information about the school failure. Also, the schools should arrange their education system and program by taking into account the child’s mental level, perceptual-motor progress, level of language and visual-motor maturation.
And I want to add that the child should be supported through this period ‘school failure’ by his family, teachers, friends and the people around him instead of being accused of not studying hard or being lazy.It should be known that it causes the destruction of the self worth of the student and motivation. And all of these treatments against the student can just cause bigger school failure.Therefore, it is logical to diagnose the source of the problem from all the possible aspects and take the suitable steps carefully without any negative effects on the student.

If a child fails at school, it’s important to identify possible causes, which may come from family, from friends, etc. It’s good to devote more time to these children, but it isn’t always possible. In a normal class there are about 30 pupils and it isn’t possible for the teacher to give his time individually to everyone of them. Therefore, it’s certainly important for parents or special educators to cooperate.
Lenka Wojtalová
I think that success of children is the most dependent on the environment in which they live. If they have parents, which is dealing with them and assist them in tasks is this good for their success. Conversely, if the children are living in difficult situations where the parents quarrel and do not pay any attention to child is this bad for their succes.
Also important is the influence of peers. Sometimes they want to be cool in society and therefore there is a failure in school.
Teachers should pay more attention to individuals or do different groups of students. It seems to me a very good learning in stages. Example, the substance of mathematics in six classes divided into three sections. That what is basic. Then for those who are doing a little bit harder substance reduced rate and they will understend. For those who are doing it well increase the complexity, that are not bored during the explanation of the basis.

I separate the school failure to two different factors. The first factor comes with pupils. Especially I mean social enviroment. In the first place parrents and their family education and impact on child. Many parrents let children grow and do not care about their school performance. This is the most frequently cause. The single-parrent famillies, alcoholism, non integrated people from different exotic cultures are causes for diploma thesis. The sub-factors are friends, to spend freetime, sports and leisure activites. Many ones of them can keep children busy and so this is reflected in school results.
The second factor contains first off teachers, their methods and also attitude to pupils. I claim the teachers are supposed to be experienced partners with children. The purpose of schools is not to give bad or good score but to give them the knowledges, experiences. What will be better for man on adulthood? Thousands of learnt precepts and teoretical terms or the “know how” even though the school report is not so good?
Have a good reading. Vít Gruner.
Dear Vít:

Weel it is true that if you reduce the question exist two main factors, but it is also true that many other “simple” questiosn and factors are influencing in the failure of schools and students…

I think that one important part of the problem is attitude lot of children (and society in general) has towards education. It is often perceived as something that can be finished and whats more once they finish it’s a ‘rite of passage’ into manhood! Kids know they are in school because they are young and once they will be out of school they will be adults. More so, if they drop out early, they can perceive themselves as premature adults. That is wrong because consequently you have everybody looking forward to no longer learning. In my opinion this can be best remedied by parents trying to make their child excited about learning from the young age.
Martin Ferfecky
In education process, there is a very easy to make a mistake. Truth is, that the main factor is, that in education process are participating families, politics and schools. Every part of that process has to do everything to prevent of mistakes.
In education, we have scientific discipline called “Diagnosis in education process”. This discipline is very important not only to detect possible problems, but also to prevent of mistakes and problems of education process. Thanks to this discipline, we can not only adapt to changes in society, but make a plans to the future.
The basic thing that we can do to prevent a school failure is to follow the basic principles in education process (principles listed at the end of the article). I think that this principles will always be the case and should be a tool of every teacher.
School education fails sometimes, thats a fact. But to figure out where the failiure comes from we have to look behind the basis.
It’s not only the fault of the pupils, often other influences are the reason. Their personal environment for example: parents, relatives, friends. But also teachers.
To offer the pupils the best it is necessary to respect their personal belongings and singularity.
In fact I think teachers are the key peronality because they are able to help the pupils with their problems and respect each personality. However they cannot fix everyhing but anyway they should try and educate themselves to be able to help as best as possible.

The children failure in school.
This is in my experience at most of the time previous from what environs they are coming. If children come from environments where parents are alcoholics , .. etc.
This is reflected in growing children because they are young and they are looking for a role model for someone with whom they can be developed, they are looking for his hero.
And not only for a few children are role models their parents.
Later, his personality is formed by his friends. As the saying proverb. “Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.”
From that we can see if we want to function with ours friends, we also must be similar to them.
And here is a good example of that why children have problems in school. First of all what I already said in the begin, because of their parents and the second of all because of there friends.
I think children needs help of their parents and their support and guidance to form his own personality. Also needs their help for explore language, level of language development (vocabulary, sentence structure, use of verbs, etc.).. Children which development are his parents involved a lot of, in my opinion they are much more successful and more civilized. Somehow for them it’s a lot of easier to turn into today’s society and not stand out of there frame.

School failure, as the article clearly shows, is not just failure of the student, but many different people. We have the teacher or teachers who educate the child, parents who take care and educate as well at home and the child’s surroundings or his school mates who have their own influence on him. I
At the faculty we are thought how to use different motivational methods, how to prepare an interesting class for everyone, how to use group work, which is stimulating for children to get to know one another and individual work as well and many other things.
This passed year we made a social diagram at my faculty for second graders and it was very eye opening. You see the children at age 7, how they pick out their friends and which ones are left outside. And for a teacher to know that, seems to me a great idea, because we can regulate this and put the other children, who were left outside,in to the social group in our case “class”, with our strategies at school, so they can socialize and open and maybe even get better at school, just because they will feel more safe to speak out loud and will be glad going to school.
Many times in my experience, the parents have been the main reason for child’s failure at school. I saw in many cases that parents had negative attitude towards education and almost everything was to much. They would be angry if a child had homework, that had to be done at home, with their help. They say that school things must be done at school, so they will not be bothered with that things at home. This is the kind of attitude I seriously hate about some parents. They do not want to be involved in child’s life, things he does, things he has learned etc. And if a child is not strong enough in his mental state, he will not do much for school, he will try to always find the “easy way out”. But for me that is the wrong way out.
Not thinking may seem a better way of doing things, but I’m sure, that is not the right One!
In the end, for education not to fail, I have to be a good and prepared teacher who knows the value of every single pupil in my classroom and parents need to know that their child is important, that it needs to be taken care of, not just physically, but most important mentally and with absolute care and love from them.

I believe that the teaching must be individualized. Each student has to find its own way dealing with school-asignments. Some students have a hard time working in groups (for exampel) and theese students need to get the chance to work in a different way.
I think we often forget in school the value of talking in the classroom, as a class. To have a problem and discuss different solutions in the class. In that way the teacher can see if all the students have found their place in the classroom, or are some students just forgotten and quiet?
Furthermore this is a good way also to deal with problems IN the classroom.
Teachers have a big responsibility and I believe many teachers consider problems in the home and inbetween students personal. If you ask me the problems that are existing in the home are probably the reason one student has problems with maths….For example!
Teachers must never be afraid to ask for help if they see a student who needs it. There are often professionals in each school on health, phsycology and so on. We need to deal with the problem before its to late!
Dropping out ouf school is nowdays really serious problem because it not only affects inviduals but the whole funcioning of the society. According to the reasearches the students who fall out of the school have higher probability to alienate from society. They have higher probability to be unemployed, live on social assistance, earn low wages, be envolved with illegal activities and even have more health problems. In my opinion it shows that this problem is not individual concern but a really serious challenge to deal with.
First the society has to understand that every social system has influences to each other and moreover students depend on many systems and communities. Different systems have to cooperate and change ideas and policies.
Secondly schools have to make prevention and intervention programms to forestall dropping out of shcool(school failure). In my opinion this is a challenging area to social pedagouges. Moreover students, teachers, school workers, parents should cooperate with each other to improve each other with positive attitudes, plans for prevention and intervention. This process should be dialogue between all parties not only between teacher and student.
Ultimately the education system should see that every person is an individual and sometimes some cases need more than just the usual manner but more individual and personal acting way.

En mi opinión el fracaso escolar es un problema que se vive, se ha vivido o se vivirá en la mayoría de los hogares españoles… Hablamos de fracaso cuando un niño no es capaz de alcanzar el nivel de rendimiento medio esperado para su edad y nivel pedagógico.
Dado que el único criterio para evaluar el éxito o el fracaso de los niños, son las calificaciones, el fracaso se traduce en suspensos, que por supuesto suelen ser masivos y hacer que los padres ya no sepan que hacer con ese niño o ese joven.
Muchas son las causas que pueden originar un fracaso escolar. Las más reseñables son los trastornos de aprendizaje y los trastornos emocionales: situaciones especiales que alteran el núcleo familiar como la muerte o enfermedad de uno de los padres o de un ser querido, el abandono, estilos educativos de los padres como puede ser la severidad excesiva o disciplina extrema, o bien un exceso de perfección o por el contrario el exceso de protección, el niño excesivamente mimado y protegido, suele caer también en la inseguridad.
También sería interesante relacionar también los problemas en el rendimiento escolar con las nuevas adicciones infantiles, la televisión o los vídeos juegos y el ordenador, que cuando no existe control pueden perjudicar de una forma importante su rendimiento escolar y esto afecta a la situación social siendo esta desfavorable por ello se dice que existe una clara correlación entre el nivel social y el rendimiento.
Como algunas causas pedagógicas podríamos destacar: irregularidad en la escolaridad. Bien por constantes traslados de un colegio a otro, por inasistencia escolar, que evidentemente hacen que el niño carezca de base para continuar el aprendizaje.
Otra de las causas puede ser el método de enseñanza del centro , en el sentido de no adecuar el interés del niño con los contenidos que se imparten, o bien la alta exigencia que no atiende a la madurez de cada uno, también otra causa es el desconocimiento de las adecuadas técnicas de estudio, o la masificación, es decir que el número de alumnos a veces supera los 25 , parece también incidir en los resultados puesto que se observan más casos de fracaso escolar.
En mi opinión la nueva reforma educativa trata de poner énfasis en la individualización y la superación de estas barreras, pero sinceramente creo que la reforma debería ser tan importante que estamos aún muy lejos de lograrlo aunque la recuperación educativa actual consista en un programa de educación correctiva que apoya que cada niño es diferente y único y que por tanto la enseñanza debe ser personalizada.
La mayoría de los jóvenes de hoy en día vemos como por factores externos o internos la vida cambia y con ella la sociedad, yo lo he vivido en el colegio donde yo estudiaba la mayoría de los jóvenes tenían un rendimiento excelente en casi todas las materias muchos de ellos en la actualidad han caído en el fracaso escolar, su motivo fue que uno de los docentes descuidaba su asignatura mandándonos para no dar clases al patio para contemplar la naturaleza, de joven no quieres dar clases así que no nos quejábamos, el problema vino después cuando salimos del colegio e ingresamos en el instituto suspendimos muchos de nosotros ya que no conocíamos la materia que nos correspondía y comenzamos con los suspensos y de ahí a acabar muchos de nosotros abandonando los estudios.
it is very important to first learn about why someone is having trouble in school. as we are talking not only about problems in learning but as well as when we follow students social interaction and if we see consistent problems occouring in that chapter it is crucial to investigate why this is happening. by learning where the problem comes from we can move to the next step where we study the problem and try to find a solution in how to cure it, that is what approach to take towards this special individual. it is only individually that we can solve the problem. the main aim is that we give the student tasks that he can relate to and he likes them and by preforming the given tasks he solves his or hers problem.
El temido y famoso fracaso escolar, hace unos años deciamos que el fracaso escolar era debido a la economia los niños dejaban la escuela para trabajar. Pero hoy dia este fracaso es mas complejo dependen de muchos factores un mal plan de estudio, poca preparación del profesorado, falta de motivacion por parte del alumno y falta de preocupación de quien a mi entender deben ser los primeros educadores de un niño, los padres. Pues bien podemos tener una buena politica educativa, mejor preparación del profesorado, mayor implicacion del entorno del alumno, pero si no somos capaces de captar la atneción de estos y hacer de la escuela un mundo atractivo la sombra del fracaso siempre estara ahi.
Estimado Sergio:
Totalmente de acuerdo con lo que dices sobre el fracaso escolar. Se trata de un problema complejo que tiene muchos elementos relacionados, en donde los padres, el sistema educativo, la política curricular, los métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, el profesorado, la psicología del propio alumno, etc. forman parte del problema en una complicada relación. Desde luego que lo que dices de los padres es cierto, hoy en general tienen más formación, pero la alocada vida que vivimos, estando ambos padres fuera de casa trabajando para traer un salario a la casa o para mejorar el confort familiar, están siendo letales en muchos casos: muchos niños están ciertamente desatendidos como debiera ser, pues son los padres los primeros, y mejores, educadores, al menos debieran serlo, lo que implica que la administración debiera ayudarlos a serlo más y mejor de lo que hace. Desde luego la asignatura Educación para la ciudadanía no va a ayudar nada en este sentido, ésa no era la solución, mucho me temo.
Saludos. José Manuel Bautista.
El fracaso escolar es un tema que nos afecta hoy en día y que nos involucra a todos. En mi opinión la gente no tiene suficiente información, es decir, que les cuesta buscarla, hasta que llegue el día de no tener otro remedio. El fracaso escolar es también responsabilidad del Estado Español, del gobierno, los cuales deberían dar más de sí en este tema ya que así, reducirían porcentajes y lograrían una mayor satisfacción de la población. La gente no tiene las cosas claras, no sabe quién quieren llegar a ser ni que objetivos quieren cumplir a lo largo de la su vida. Por ello el camino a la solución sería dar la información en mano, con diferentes salidas para gente que no ha acabado los estudios o que no encuentra trabajo. Se conseguiría con ello una mayor comodidad en la vida de cada uno y un razonamiento, una reflexión futura para sus hijos.
En mi opinión, estoy de acuerdo con el fracaso escolar, ya que las leyes se cambian cada 4 años y eso no ayuda a los niños, ya que así, los niños no se aplican tanto como deberían. El nivel de los profesores no será el adecuado para dar clases
pienso que el fracso escolar debe ser un tema que nos concierne a todos.es evidentemente que en la vida tenemos que haber de todo , pero hay muchas maneras de ser barrendero, carpintero, medico o panadero.es un proceso que evidentemente implica a todos los segmentos, desde el mas basico y sencillo como es el propio niño, hasta el mas complicado que son el de las instituciones politicas.Requiere una inversion de dinero muy alta, cmo se dice en el articulo, el hacer un diagnostico de cada niño que tiene fracaso escolar, hacer su debida entrevista con el psicopedagogo y ponerse manos a la obra con el tratamiento que sea necesario.esto es como si fuera una enfermedad y como tal debe tratarse, incidir menos es echar por tierra una mente, una cabeza, una persona, unos recursos intelectuales por falta de implicacion y medios.
Por donde empezar a la hora de decir de quien es la culpa del fracaso escolar, podemos hecharle la culpa al entorno, porque no, puesto que ahi siempre suele estar el problema, pero en que parte nos centramos, ¿en los padres o en las amistades? yo diría que las amistades, puesto que el “ser popular” por desgracia va dado de la mano de ser un niño que no atiende en clase, que va en contra de las normas, en lugar de ir de la mano de el niño que estudia, que sigue las pautas necesarias para ser un buen ciudadano. También el niño observa que en muchos trabajos se gana mayor cantidad de dinero que estudiando, además de que tienen un dinero al alcance de la mano para sus cosas, como comprar un coche, una moto, etc. cosa que no tendrían si estudian. Pero la culpa yo se la daría por supuesto al gobierno y sus leyes educativas, porque todos los fallos que he dicho anteriormente son producto de éste.
la verdad esque en los tiempos que corren ya no se le da tanta importancia al fracaso escolar y cada vez hasy mayor numero de estos. deben tomar partido para prevenirlo padres y profesores e intentar hacer ver al niño que no es oslo por aprobar sino por ser alguien en la vida.
Regina Jimenez Leruite. didactica general. grupo de tarde
Deacuerdo con el articulo, para prevenir el fracaso escolar tienen que tomar partida los padres, profesores y alumnos.
El fracaso escolar ha amuentado en estos ultimos años, ya que vivimos en una sociedad en la que los padres no castigan por el fracaso, sino que premian por el no fracaso, o incluso les premian por nada, ya que viven en una sociedad en la que tienen de todo. Los alumnos deberian ver el aprobar como una obligación, ya que es la única que tienen, y el sacar buena nota como un orgullo personal.

En este articulo, nos trata algunas de las causas y como diagnosticar problemas de alumnos que presenta o puedan presentar un posible fracaso actual o en un futuro cercano. Creo que el aspecto más importante de este artículo es el apartado de “cómo prevenir el fracaso”. El docente en cuanto vea el mas mínimo índice de posible fracaso escolar, debe poner modificaciones o estímulos de por medio para incentivar al alumno. Teniendo en cuenta que si el alumno no está motivado con las tareas que se le presentan, todo trabajo será en balde. El primer paso para la educación del alumno es que él se encuentre cómodo para la realización de las tareas y actividades, sino el siempre se mostrará negativo ante el trabajo de los docentes.

Bajo mi punto de vista, el profesor debe tener en cuenta al alumno, implicarse en él y adaptarlo. Tenemos que intervenir de manera conjunta con el alumnado, las familias y el resto del personal escolar, tanto el docente como el resto del personal del centro. De esta manera y desde este punto habrá que partir para someter a un alumno a algun refuerzo que le beneficie para que no conlleve a su fracaso escolar.

El principio fundamental de todos los agentes educativos y especialmente el profesorado debería ser la preocupación por asegurar que todos los alumnos progresen a lo largo de los ciclos y etapas que estable el currículum oficial evitando en la medida de lo posible el fracaso escolar. Para esto se debería de tratar de buscar y agotar todas las vías, métodos y medios de enseñanza que permitiesen a los alumnos aprender y alcanzar los objetivos educativos de una forma motivante.
En primer lugar el grado de ajuste que se produzca en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje va ser determinate para que el alumno progrese. Por otro lado se debe tener en cuenta la gran heterogeneidad en los estilos de aprendizaje de los alumnos, lo que obliga al profesorado a ser creativo,a desarrollar métodos igualmente diversos, y a permitir ritmos distintos y niveles de consecución diferentes, en definitiva, desarrollar lo que en psicología educativa o psicopedagogía se llama estrategias de “adaptaciones curriculares”, siempre tomando como referencia los objetivos generales o curriculum ordinario.

La responsabilidad del fracaso escolar no sólo recae sobre el Estado y la sociedad, sino que son varios los factores que intervienen
en este problema.
Para que el cambio o la transformación propicie una mejora de la calidad educativa y de vida, es necesario que todos, desde nuestro lugar hagamos un aporte dejando de lado la individualidad, para
que la tarea sea conjunta, dando una solución colectiva a un problema igualmente colectivo. Es necesario que como sociedad recuperemos los valores perdidos.
Desde nuestro lugar como futuros docentes debemos ser concientes de que todo lo que hacemos tendrá, probablemente consecuencias anticipadas o no anticipadas, esto nos hace reflexionar sobre
políticas y prácticas alternativas, para pensar acerca del proceso educativo en un sentido amplio y preguntarnos lo que ocurre más allá de las políticas explícitas, de los medios de instrucción y los resultados que cada uno trata de producir.
Poner atención en nuestra tarea docente tanto las situaciones sociales como la propia instrucción como parte del currículum, ya que de este modo se amplían nuestros recursos para influir en lo que
los alumnos aprenden. Debemos interrogarnos sobre las condiciones en las que tiene lugar el aprendizaje en las escuelas, en términos
reales y en término de políticas educativas, así como también ser concientes de la gran responsabilidad y de la importancia de nuestra
tarea docente para lograr la permanencia del educando dentro del sistema, y que éste a su vez valore el proceso de enseñanzaaprendizaje
para así poder evitar o al menos intentar disminuir el problema del fracaso escolar.

El fracaso escolar, un tema difícil de comentar, un tema en el que hay muchos culpables y a la vez es difícil decir sobre quien cae la responsabilidad de que haya tanto fracaso escolar y de que siga en aumento…
Podemos echar la culpa a los padres, a los profesores, al gobierno…. Que algo de culpa tendrán pero yo personalmente creo que la culpa, por llamarlo de alguna manera, de que exista ese fracaso escolar es de la sociedad en general. Nosotros mismo hemos creado una sociedad conformista, una sociedad sin afán de superación, una sociedad en la que los jóvenes prefieren vivir con mas limitaciones antes de esforzarse por labrarse un futuro…. Vivimos en un país donde nosotros la juventud no miramos por nosotros mismo, ni por crearnos una calidad de vida, ni por enriquecernos culturalmente; podemos seguir echando la culpa de todo esto a los padres y a los profesores o a la ley de educación pero creo que nos equivocamos, que el fallo esta en nosotros mismo. Si es cierto que hay alumnos que fracasan en su intento de crecer intelectualmente porque no tengan un nivel adecuado o como se suele decir “que no dan para mas” pero eso son los mínimos o al menos es mi forma de verlo.
Un saludo, Ana
el fracaso escolar!!! una gran problemetatica que lleva arrastrando muchos años el gobierno,tras cambios y reformas en la educacion.Podemos preguntarno cual es el principal problema,¿los alumnos,profesores,la enseñanza,el modelo a seguir?,cada vez hay mas jovenes que se quitan de estudiar antes por tener poca iniciativa y apoyo del profesorado,creo que apartir de ahy es cuando llegan los grabes problemas del fracaso escolar,la falta de atencion y la poca profesionalidad,creo que esto es un alucha de todos.
Son vários factores los que pueden llegar a provocar el fracaso escolar.
La situación social y familiar del alumno, la relación con sus compañeros, la dejadez por parte del educador al no implicarse y darse cuenta del problema a tiempo…
Sin embargo pienso que la solución de este problema no es otra que una involucración total.
Es decir cualquier caso de un alumno, que pueda en un futuro caer en este fracaso estudiarlo a fondo e intentar solucionarlo desde un principio.
Una de las causas de este fracaso, pienso que son las asignaturas que son impartidas de forma poco motivante para el alumno y no crea esa inquietud por saber, y por supuesto solodesarrolla al niño en el aspecto más estricto de los contenidos de esa asignatura, sin caer en el factor afectivo, o motivacional del alumno.
Juan José Núñez Reyes, 1º Educación física (Turno de Tarde)
El fracaso escolar es la principal preocupacion por parte de todo el ámbito de la educación. Esto es debido a diversos factores llegando desde la situación económica de los padres hasta la desmotivación de los alumnos por recibir clases. En el tema familiar si es por situación económica, en mi opinión no deberia ser ningun aliciente para llegar al fracaso porque existen unas becas que podrian hacer mas o menos salir del paso. Si es por mentalidad padres (excluyendo economía, deberían de ser los tutores quienes deberian aconsejar sobre el futuro de su hijo y el quehacer en determinado momento. Si es por determinacion del alumno, debería de aconsejarse para llevarlo por el buen camino y prepararle para que juzgue el camino correcto para determinar su futuro. Pero si es por el docente, debería de informarse de cómo conseguir medidas para paliar problemas, poner todo de su parte e investigar todo recurso que sea beneficioso para detectar el problema y solucionarlo cuanto antes.

El fracaso escolar es un tema de mucha importancia y creo que al que no se presta mucha atención.
Pienso como ya he dicho en otro comentario que la educación enrriquece tanto cultural como económicamente al pais y el gobierno debería de poner solución a este problema.
Creo que uno de los problemas está en la falta de interes por parte de los alumnos y profesores en poner remedio a esta solución por lo que creo que si los maestros nos planteasemos enseñar de tal manera que se motive más al alumno mejoraría bastante la situación, por otro lado pienso que el estado debería de enrriquecer la escuela con mas profesores y menos alumnos por clase ya que la enseñanza sería más personalizada, enrriquecedora y de mayor calidad, puede que otro problema que influya en el fracaso escolar sea la falta de atención por parte de los padres en la educación,la adquisición de valores y principios y la cultura de sus hijos, ya que al estar los dos miembros trabajando fuera de casa, no les pueden dedicar tanto tiempo a sus hijos, aunque es una lástima que ahora que en nuestra sociedad hay tantos recursos educativos,bien o mal planteados, haya este porcentaje de fracaso escolar,y sobre todo que no se sepa aprobechar las oportunidades que se estan dando para una buena fomación y futuro a los alumnos.
En mi opinión creo que el fracaso escolar en los últimos años ha surgido un creciente interés y preocupación en la mayoría de los países, un problema determinado por múltiples factores. El fracaso es: “la caída o ruina estrepitosa de algo, suceso lastimoso, inopinado y funesto”, también es “frustración de una pretensión o el resultado de la adversidad”, se aplica, finalmente a la persona “desconceptuada a causa de sus fracasos”, (figurativamente) “es un fracasado”.
El significado dramático de este adjetivo (fracaso), puede ser aplicado para
Calificar al estudiante o a lo escolar.
Hablamos de fracaso cuando un niño no es capaz de alcanzar el nivel de
Rendimiento medio esperado para su edad y nivel pedagógico.

Actualmente el fracaso escolar es un problema muy serio y al cual no conseguimos encontrar una solucion, ya que son muchas las causas que lo provocan. En mi opinion es algo que se ha ido alimentando por la sociedad, es decir, todos nosotros hemos puesto nuestro grano de arena, por ejemplo hay familias que no le dan importancia a los estudios, personas que no tienen posibles o incluso gente que necesita ayuda para poder estudiar y no la tiene. En definitiva pienso que es un problema cultural y con una muy dificil solucion.

Alfonso David Fernández Martínez 1º ED Física Turno Tarde UHU
En mi opinión creo que en la etapa joven existen muchas dudas aún sobre cómo se dirigen la vida y como se va construyendo el futuro, y uno de los elementos que figuran dentro de esta edificación es el escolar, que no sólo puede ayudar o afectar al joven en sí mismo, sino que el ámbito escolar repercute en distintas esferas: en la familiar, en el núcleo escolar, incluso en las actividades sociales.
La disciplina que la escuela al adolescente –joven es una disciplina de constancia que se imponen en uno de los momentos donde las inquietudes surgen de forma indeterminada, y en la que muchas veces otras situaciones acaparan el espacio y el tiempo para la empeño escolar. Es por ello que los jóvenes muchas veces se enfrentan al denominado fracaso escolar, que si bien es una responsabilidad de mayor porcentaje en la voluntad del joven, también es una responsabilidad social para los familiares, para los pedagogos y para los especialistas del área académica.
Me parece un tema muy interesante el fracaso escolar, ya que por más que se trata y se debate parece ser que no se llega a una solucion efectiva. Desde mi punto de vista es primordial la prevención, y como bien argumenta el artículo esta parte de la concienciación y la ayuda por parte de los padres, que deben jugar un papel fundamental en la educación de sus hijos.
Tambien me gustaría destacar, teniendo en cuenta mi propia experiencia, la actuación en muchos casos contraproducente que se lleva a cabo en las escuelas. En algunos alumnos, que muestran una anomalía en sus estudios, se recurre al sistema de clases de apoyo, que en muchos casos en lugar de ayudar a que el alumno recupere conocimientos atrasados lo hace retrasarse mucho más, y en estas estapas cualquier retraso con el paso del tiempo supone una gran dificultad.
En mi opinión el fracaso escolar principalmente viene de la educación que los alumnos reciben de sus padres en casa, en la sociedad de que proceda (ya que tiene más facilidades o menos), y en el interés que tenga el propio niño por estudiar. También opino que la educación no tendría que ser tema de discusión entre políticos, sino que deberían tratar como solucionar el fracaso escolar.
Irene Sañudo Vega
A la vista de todos (o al menos de los que se interesan) está que el marco educativo en los últimos años va de mal en peor. Los jóvenes de hoy en día no quieren estudiar, no tienen motivación para hacerlo y quizás tenga algo que ver las diferentes causas por las que actualmente pasa el País. Lo que está claro es que hay que hacer algo, empezando por los políticos, y estructurar las leyes que existen para ponerlas al día y así mostrar a los jóvenes nuevas posibilidades de progreso y de futuro laboral.

Bajo mi punto de vista creo que el fracaso escolar siempre ha estado y va estar en todas partes, probablemente en los últimos años se ha producido un incremento del fracaso en los jóvenes.
Muchas ocasiones se dice que la culpa es de la familia el entorno donde se desarrolla la infancia del niño puede que tenga mucha razón, ya que si los padres no controlan al niño desde pequeño siempre va a estar acostumbrado hacer lo que quiera y esto a lo largo de los años de la adolescencia se convertirá en quedase en la calle con los amigos dan vueltas o alterando la clase, cuando los profesores llaman a los padres, estos no creen que sus hijos sean capaces de hacer lo que le cuentan.
Además también llamarse fracaso por parte del profesor para sí mismo, ya que se supone que debe intentar que ese alumno consiga tener un rendimiento aunque sea aceptable o que se interese por algo que le guste para poder trabajar en el futuro.

El fracaso escolar ha sido en nuestro país mas alto que el promedio europeo. Lo que nos lleva a preguntarnos seriamente que es lo que estamos haciendo mal.
Tras el implante de la ESO, el fracaso escolar a ido aumentando por lo que podemos decir que esa propia “reforma” ha sido un fracaso.
¿Cuantas veces hay que cambiar de ley de educacion para que esto funcione? En los ultimos años la politica a reestructurado tantas veces la ley que no han dejado que ninguna de ellas se asiente por los constantes cambios que se hacen para mejorar, ¿pero donde se ve esa mejora?
Con respecto a los docentes, deben de verdad querer y necesitar hacer este trabajo para que la educación funcione y de alguna manera “salvar” a esos niños que se encuentran en una sociedad a veces tan desconcertada.
Lo que tenemos que tener claro es que el trabajo del docente en el centro educativo y el apoyo de las familias es vital para que los alumnos consigan su desarrollo y no se queden estancados en cursos donde no van a aprender nada, sino que volveran a ver contenidos iguales al año anterior.
En conclusión, es un trabajo de la union de esos aspectos, con la contribucion y las ganas de todos podemos hacer una sociedad mejor.
Un saludo.
Alejandro Aliaga Román
Como bien esta comentado el articulo el fracaso escolar es no superar una serie de objetivos marcados por el sistema educativo, me parece correcto, pero en mi opinión no es solo eso creo que aquí también deberían entrar los valores los cuales son tan ignorados por esos niños o en otros casos en otros padres que se deberían de corregir.
Por todo esto y más problemas es cada vez mayor el número de fracasos y de abandono de los estudiantes y cada vez son más los niños y jóvenes que han de acudir a los psicopedagogos, psicólogos y psiquiatras y especialistas en recuperar o volver a la normalidad para ser educados.
A mi parecer creo que el tan llamado fracaso escolar no son nada más y nada menos que una serie de causas que hacen que el niño no llegue a completar esos objetivos como pueden ser, el niño que no se concentra, el que no tiene ninguna motivación, el que está deprimido por alguna causa, ya sea interna o externa, el niño que tiene problemas específicos en el aprendizaje etc…
Por ultimo destacar que el fallo normalmente esta en edades más tempranas que se deberían atajar, y estudiar más en concreto esa edad.
“más vale prevenir que curar” un dicho muy aplicable para este caso.

volviendo al mismo tema, el fracaso escolar es algo que ha exixtido, existe y existira siempre, podemos diagnosticarlo en todas partes del mundo y sus causas son infinitas, hay personas que no tienen ambicion por estudia, que suus familias se lo impiden, que no tienen medios, o simplemennte porque pasan, es algo que se debe tratar y por medio de los project works se podria hacer para intentar evitar dicho fracaso.

El fracaso escolar es algo que esta de moda y pienso que siempre por desgracia va estar ahí, ya que siempre va haber grupos de alumnos que no consigan los obejtivos k se les propongan.Esto puede ser debido a muchas causas,familiares,falta de motivación por parte del alumnado ya que no encuentran interesante las clases y un largo etc.Pienso que siempre va a estar porque ya sean politicos padres o los propios aumnos no se involucran como debrían de hacerlo,todo esto lo hacen sin pensar en que ellos van a ser nuestro futuro.Yo creo que es algo que deberíamos tratar entre todos y por desgracia no hacemos.
Juan José Rodríguez Perales 1º Magisterio de educación física.Saludos
El fracaso escolar, en mi opinión es, a causa de las leyes impuestas por los políticos, pero también por la vagancia de los alumnos.
Por una parte las nuevas leyes de no obligar al niño a que aprenda, causa una desgana en él para realizar ejercicios, empezar a leer, incluso de querer. Porque hoy en dia los maestros no se quieren “coger los dedos” con castigos, como quedarse sin recreo, quedarse media hora mas después de finalizar las clases diarias, simplemente para realizar los ejercicios no realizados el dia anterior, o leer los textos atrasados, la ley que aboga por los alumnos no lo consiente. Dicha ley estipula que no se debe castigar a los niños, pero si los alumnos de las escuelas de hoy están obsesionados con los videojuegos y demás tecnologías diseñadas para el ocio, habrá que despertarlos de alguna maneta ¿No? Si no entienden hablándoles suavemente y dándoles recompensas a corto plazo, por cosa infima que hagan, pienso que se les debe dar un toque de atención. Pienso que los niños no puede ser los que manden en los colegios, por tener mas derechos y menos responsabilidades que los maestros, y es lo que esta pasando, los niños no dejan que los enseñen porque piensan que saben mas que los maestros.
Por otra parte la bagueza de los niños, cobra sentido, por lo mencionado anteriormente, es mas comodo no estudiar y como este hecho no les afecta solamente en tener un suspenso, pues ellos están deseando de cumplir 16 años para trabajar y ganar dinero para seguir haciendo lo que les plazca. Ahí también le hecho la culpa a los padres por no enfrentarse a ellos y ponerles los pies en la tierra, porque aunque sigan estudiando y pasando de curso “por lo pelos”, esos alumnos, cuando en las enseñanzas superiores no conozcan a los profesores y no les “ayuden”, se can a desmoralizar y terminan dejando los estudios, por no haber aprobado ninguna y diciéndose a si mismo: ¡Si yo he estudiado! ¿Por qué no he aprobado? Y no se dan cuenta de que no es simplemente estudiar a duras penas, es comprender y poner en prectica los conocimientos adquiridos para poder interiorizarlos y poder aplicarlos en la vida.

Bastante fácil y simple nos presenta este artículo cómo prevenir y resolver el fracaso escolar. Bajo mi punto de vista queda muy lejos esto de la realidad, puesto que el fracaso escolar puede tener muchas y muy diferentes causas; puede ser por falta de atención del alumno, falta de motivación, problemas familiares, sociales, economicos, políticos, educativos, psicológicos entre muchos otros. Es por ello que la tarea de resolver el fracaso escolar es tan dificil.
Siempre se ha tendido a hechar la culpa del fracaso escolar a los profesores y a los padres. Tiene su parte de razón, pues son dos factores que pueden ser causa del fracaso escolar, pero no son los únicos, como ya he dicho antes son muy numerosas las posibles causas.
La parte de razón la tiene porque puede que el alumno no esté motivado y esto puede ser tanto por los profesores que no imparten de una forma amena sus clases, de una forma que el alumno esté motivado; como por los padres que dan a sus hijos regalos por las buenas notas, cometiendo un gran error, pues la mejor motivación es la intrínseca, en la que el alumno trata de mejorar sin esperar una recompensa a cambio, tan solo por superarse a sí mismo y estar satisfecho por haber hecho correctamente lo que tenía que hacer. Desgraciadamente son bastante escasos estos casos. Quizás sea esta otra de las muchas causas del fracaso escolar.

Que es el fracaso Escolar en la Escuela: el niño sufre a consecuencia del “fracaso escolar”, pero ni lo crea ni lo difunde, ni lo provoca. Este se limita a sufrir las consecuencias del fracaso escolar.
Lo único real es que hay niños con dificultades, las cuales pueden ser muy variadas y el fracaso escolar se produce cuando algo falla en algún punto del sistema educativo, y el niño con dificultades no es ayudado para superarlas.
Lo primero es que alguien se dé cuenta a tiempo y que se le dé la necesaria importancia a ese niño con dificultades, podrán estudiar esas dificultades y poner en marcha las acciones necesarias para superarlas.
Tratamiento:
En según qué casos, la ayuda pasará por rehacer los objetivos educativos señalados para el niño, darles una mayor atención, unas clases especiales, una adaptación de los objetivos educativos, etc.
Es cierto que la incompetencia puede estar en cualquier punto del sistema educativo y que la política dirige dicho sistema, pero desde mi punto de vista a la hora de detectar el problema en mayor parte de la responsabilidad se la lleva el docente-tutor y en segundo lugar los padres. En su posterior tratamiento la ineptitud será psicopedagogos o psicólogo que debe tratar al niño.
También es cierto que los docentes están colocados en la línea de fuego y, a veces, ni se les prepara ni se les ayuda a la hora de programar los aprendizajes de sus alumnos.
Con referencia a la Ley de Educación, gracias a Dios a cambiado y mejorado desde que yo era alumna en la escuela con la Ley 14/1970, de 4 de agosto, General de Educación y Financiamiento de la Reforma Educativa (antigua E.G.B.)
Hoy con la LOE (2006)la llamada “Reforma” educativa viene a intentar resolver el problema del “fracaso escolar”. Su mayor mérito es: reconocer que no puede exigirse el mismo nivel de objetivos para cada niño, e intentar la adaptación de la enseñanza a las posibilidades reales de cada caso.

Los factores que dificultan el aprendizaje, y por consiguiente pueden llevar al fracaso escolar son varios,tales como capacidades inadecuadas del niño,el ambiente familiar y social en el que viva,además de motivos pedagógicos y médicos. Averiguar la causa es primordial para saber hacia dónde encaminar las soluciones. Sin embargo, hay una tendencia unánime e injusta,que mide a todos y a todas por el mismo patrón.
Desde mi punto de vista,hay que concienciar a esta sociedad,de que no es sólo trabajo de los educadores el asegurar la integración académica del alumno, sino que gran parte de esa tarea corresponde a los padres.Pienso, que hoy en día,la mayoría de los padres, se han “olvidado” de esa labor y la han relegado a otros. Además,el papel que ejerce la política tampoco es de mucha ayuda para solventar este gran problema.

El fracaso escolar tiene en el punto de la diana de la culpabilidad a los padres y a los profesores. Estos ultimo tiene mucho peso en la educación, no solo como simple maestros que se pone delante de ello he intenta incúlcales una cantidad de contenidos que a veces son inútiles, por eso los profesores deben de tener cuidado en las formas en el aula y darse cuenta de que a quienes esta enseñando. Para logra una enseñanza satisfactoria el profesor debe saber utilizar la metodología correcta en cada momento.
Los padre debe de poner mas atención a los estudios de cada hijo, ayudándolo y llevando un diario de el y debe de tener muy presente que esa es la base que va a tener el niño después y que va a ser difícil de cambiarla, ahora es el momento que mas apoyo necesita los niños y no cuando el profesor llama a las casa de cada unos de los padres para decirle a ellos que el niño no trabaja bien, no se comporta bien y esas cosas, lo peor es que hay padres que se ofenden ante eso y no intentan ayudar y mejorar en la educación de sus propios hijos.

El fracaso escolar se debe a infinidad de causas y como se comenta en el articulo sobre el complicado mundo del currículo y de los valores educativos.
El gran fracaso escolar puede ser debido a los medios de comunicación, televisión, internet, consolas etc., y la gran pasividad de padres y profesores y de la sociedad en general. Debemos reflexionar sobre el tema, unir a todos los implicados, hacer un estudio serio.

El fracaso escolar, en los últimos tiempos, es el tema principal cada vez que se habla de la educación. Hay muchos factores que conllevan a los alumnos al fracaso escolar; ya sea económicos familiares, sociales, educativas… Pienso que hay algunos factores fundamentales que fomentan cada vez más a que este fracaso continúe, como son:
Por una parte; el gobierno, ya que está constantemente cambiando leyes, normativas… haciendo que la educación no sea lo suficientemente estable.
Por otra parte; gran culpa la tienen los alumnos, que deberían poner más interés en estudiar para así obtener un futuro mejor. Creo que los profesores también deberian hacer que sus clases motivaran a los alumnos, poner un poco de su parte. Los padres también son un pilar muy importante, pues sirve de gran influencia para que el alumno obtenga un plan de estudio adecuado en casa, que se preocupen por el niño, ect…
En mi opinión, lo más cierto sería una reforma educativa que obtenga pilares fuertes e irremplazables.
Desde mi punto de vista, el fracaso escolar viene dado por la situación familiar en la que se encuentra el alumno, es cierto que influyen factores como la relación que tengan con otros compañeros, el compañerismo en la clas, pero todo esto no puede ser correcto sin una vida familiar adecuada y explico a qué me refiero. La mayoría de alumnos que ya no siente interés por el estudio o por la asistencia al centro escolar, es porque su familia se preocupa bien poco por sus hámbitos de estudios, la relación con los otros compañeros…etc, hoy en día todo se compensa regalandole una play station al niño o dándole dinero para que se compre tonterías. Algunos dirían que estoy equivocado porque no siempre son los padres, sino con el tipo de amistad que tiene el alumno fuera del centro etc… y yo les diría que hay también interviene el factor familiar, por no perocuparse de las amistades que están haciendo que su hijo se desvíe de su objetivo en esa etapa que es estudiar. En definitiva, si el alumno fuera más atendido por sus familiares de manera correcta, habrían menos fracasos esolares.
Nicolás Moral Luna, 1º E.Física turno tarde
En mi opinión creo que el fracaso escolar se está tratando cada vez mejor, ya que a mi parecer hay menos fracaso escolar que hace unos años atrás.
Me parece que los profesores están cada vez más preparados y capacitados para actuar en el fracaso escolar de sus alumnos. Es cierto que todavía nos queda algo muy importante que cambiar para poder hacer esta tarea bien y es que nos fijamos más en la nota cuantitativa que en el progreso del alumno en otros aspectos de la clase; el examen teórico y su nota correspondiente solo debería de ser un apunte más para el profesor para saber si el alumno entendió las explicaciones o si le gusto la materia, pero no debería de ser el único aspecto en el que el profesor debe fijarse y mucho menos el más importante. Aunque claro está nos piden que cada alumno adquiera unos conocimientos básicos para poder pasar de curso y si no lo demuestra en el examen es difícil saber si los ha adquirido, para mi ese es el problema.
Por otra parte, creo que los padres cada vez están más interesados en la educación de sus hijos, otra cosa es que por motivos de trabajo no tengan tiempo para atender a sus hijos con respecto a la escuela. También tenemos que darnos cuenta de que hay culturas en las que los padres no tienen ningún tipo de interés en que sus hijos vayan a la escuela, como por ejemplo la cultura gitana.
Aparte tengo que decir y soy consciente de ello porque vivo junto a un poblado chabolista, que hay un autobús que va a recoger a los niños a sus casas para que estos vayan a la escuela y no haya absentismo escolar, otra cosa es lo que los niños trabajen dentro de las clases.

Respecto a este tema pienso que la gran culpa de fracaso escolar existente en estos momento es de los padres, ya que hoy en día los niños pasan la mayor parte del tiempo sin tener al lado una figura materna o paterna por lo que la educación de los niños de hoy en día no es la mas correcta.
Pienso que en la sociedad de hoy en dia los padres tienen un mal concepto del significado de la palabra escuela ya que en estos momentos ellos creen y actúan como si la educación de los hijos la tuviera q relaizar los profesores cuando en realidad el profesor es un guía de conocimiento y conocimientos que prepara al niño a lo largo de su vida.
Tampoco podemos olvidarnos del restos de componentes que ayudan a que cada año exista mas fracaso escolar como la ley de enseñanza de la actualidad, la poca devoción por parte de algunos profesores etc etc..
El fracaso escolar es muy común en las escuelas, ya que cada vez son menos los niños que terminan la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, bien porque no pueden al tener dificultades mentales o físicas o simplemente porque no quieren.
Pienso que lo primero que hay que hacer es hablar todos los docentes que le dan clases a los alumnos, reunirlos y poner puntos en común y cómo se podría evitar o poder mejorar. Después se les comunicaría a los padres y ya reaccionar ante el caso.
Para finalizar, quizás la forma de solucionar esto es motivando al niño/a, dando clases amenas o ya en casos especiales dedicarles más tiempo del necesario.

El fracaso escolar por desgracia hoy en día es muy habitual verlo, ya que la mayoría de alumnos de colegios e institutos no se toman enserio la educación, esto pueden ser debido a muchos aspectos como hemos leído en el comentario, ya sean económicos, familiares, por amigos o por el ambiente en el que viva.
Los primeros que deberían tomar medidas tendría que ser los padres de estos alumnos ya que si de pequeños no los educan bien luego los profesores por mucho que lo intenten no lo van a conseguir dado que si en la escuela le transmiten unos valores y luego en casa otros el niño no sabrá que hacer y como la figura paterna o materna siempre es mas fuerte que la del docente el niño actuará como lo haga en su casa, por ello es fundamental que la familia ayude a que supere los objetivos necesarios para no caer en el fracaso escolar.
El tema político relacionado con la educación prefiero no tocarlo ya que hay diversas opiniones sobre ello.
José Mª Roldán Lafuente
Primero magisterio educación física
El fracaso escolar, hoy en día, puede deberse entre otras muchas cosas a las dificultades de aprendizaje que presente el alumnado, a la falta de adaptación por parte del sistema a las necesidades específicas de cada alumno, al desinterés por parte del alumnado para continuar formándose, a la falta de motivación, al desinterés por parte de familiares, a los fines e intereses políticos…
Para acabar con el fracaso escolar habría que empezar desvinculando la educación de los intereses políticos, para una vez conseguida una verdadera reforma educativa, concienciar tanto a padres, alumnos y profesores de la importancia de ello, y poder así ejercer una prevención eficaz para poner fin a este problema que cada vez se hace notar más en la sociedad actual. Creo que el problema no está en el niño que no se adapta al sistema, sino en un sistema al que es muy difícil adaptarse ya que éste no tiene en cuenta las características del alumnado, sus intereses…
Es esencial tener en cuenta la prevención del fracaso escolar y concienciar a todas las partes implicadas en el proceso educativo del niño, tanto dentro de las aulas, como fuera de ellas.
Realmente, debe ser complicado diagnosticar los errores que se están cometiendo a nivel general en nuestro sistema educativo para que tengamos los índices tan elevados de fracaso escolar en nuestro país. Por lo que yo observo, creo que hay poca vinculación de los padres con el entorno escolar, no se nos hace partícipe del aprendizaje de nuestros hijos, los maestros solo ven a los padres en las tutorías exigidas por la ley y poco más, y si intentas vincularte un poco más con los maestros para apoyar a tus propios hijos, como que tampoco te echan mucha cuenta. Tampoco hay que exculpar a los padres, ya que hoy día, realmente, no les dedicamos todo el tiempo que se merecen y al final los perjudicados son los mismos de siempre, los niños. No podemos olvidarnos de los índices de pobreza que empezamos a tener en nuestro país, a lo que va acompañado de la mano, el absentismo escolar.
Pienso, que los órganos competentes deben exigirse mucho más, y solucionar este problema, ya que nuestros niños son nuestro futuro.

Está claro, según pienso, los padres, alumnos y profesores deben esforzarse por cohesionarse y poder llevar a cabo esta laboriosa tarea. Esta tarea, debe ser llevada por todos, de acuerdo con que si uno de esos pilares fallase, la educación del alumno, podría irse al garete y así nos dejamos de eufemismos.
Supongo que quien más debe poner de su parte es el profesor, algo que es fundamental y completamente necesario, el uso de una metodología distinta para cada educado, debido que no somos iguales, y cada uno aprende a un ritmo y de una determinada manera, labor de encontrar esa metodología, la cual haga al niño potenciar sus ganas de aprender y de este modo poder seguir evolucionando.
Magisterio Educación Física
Desde mi punto de vista el fracaso escolar se produce entre otras cosas por la poca preocupación que los alumnos tienen a aprender, los alumnos de hoy en día no tienen el interés que hay que tener por aprender, este problema es debido también a la falta de insistencia de los padres, los padres de hoy en día siempre ven el problema en los propios educadores y no se dan cuenta que a lo mejor su propio hijo es el que no pone interés por aprender, de ahí el fracaso escolar, para mi lo mas adecuado para intentar que cada vez haya menos fracaso escolar es que tanto padres, como alumnos, como educadores pongan de su parte para un mejor aprendizaje.

El fracaso escolar segun mi humilde opinion, es un tema extremadamente delicado, ya que bajo mi punto de vista es el pilar fundamental de toda sociedad. La educación es la pieza clave de que todo pueda ir bien o mal, ya que de dicha educacion saldra la futura sociedad del pais.
¿ Quien tiene la culpa? Podemos nombrar numerosos factores que pueden influir negativamente, pongamos como por ejemplos, los docentes, alumnos, padres, politicos o sociedad en general.
¿Encontrar soluciones al fracaso escolar? Pues también podemos definir muchas que pueden ayudar eficazmente al problema, como la union de politicos para una UNICA LEY DE EDUCACIÓn, o una mayor preparación de los docente, o inculcar a los alumnos en que el ambito educativo no es una obligacion, si no una preparacion social para una mayor y mejor vida en un futuro, pero sobre todo y donde creo que recide el problema es en la EDUCACIÓN DE LOS PADRES, son ellos los que debe difundir desde pequeños los valores educativos a sus hijos para que estos lo obtengan como ejemplo.
El fracaso escolar es causado por varios factores, aunque la más importante sea un trastorno en el aprendizaje; pero como ya he dicho intervienen varios factores como los padres, profesores, políticos, economía… En mi opinión, ya expuesta en otro artículo, yo creo que la educación debería estar a un lado aparte de todos los demás problemas, como diferencias entre políticos, ya que hablamos de la educación y ésta es un pilar básico del futuro de nuestro país. Es decir, mi solución para salvar el fracaso escolar sería que en la educación estuviésemos todos unidos.

Creo que actualmente existe un gran fracaso escolar ya que según las encuesta “Informe ‘Magisterio’ 2008: el 31,2% de jóvenes entre 18 y 24 años no acabó la Secundaria superior” mientras que en Europa ese porcentaje no llega al 15%. Por lo que España se sitúa casi en la cola de Europa, ¿esto a que es debido? Estoy de acuerdo que la base de todo está en la familia , la familia es la primera que tiene que motivar al alumnado a que estudie, pero tampoco podemos dejar todo a la mano de la familia , ya que también existe el factor, escuela y el factor político , siendo este último el mayor culpable de este fracaso ya que nunca cuaja con sus leyes educativas, siempre están en continuo cambió, a parte de los cambios que sufren dichas leyes , también tienen una mala gestión a lo que a las becas se refiere, este es un factor muy importante, porque si a los jóvenes con el hecho de sacar el curso y aprobar el nivel que te pidan , da igual los ingresos y patrimonio de los padres , dieran ayudas para que el siguiente año estudiaran creo que no tendrían muchos que irse a trabajar , u otra cosa que ha entrado nueva a sido lo de regalar un portátil a cada niño, el PLAN TIC lo veo fatal , eso no motiva al niño para nada en los estudios sino todo lo contrario, creéis realmente que los niños van a utilizar el portátil para buscar información y hacer trabajo, porque personalmente yo lo he vivido en las practicas mías y no ha sido así en las mismas aulas utilizaban el portátil para meterse en paginas sociales ( facebook, tuenti ,etc..) esto es un atraso , en vez de regalar libros, juegos educativos, regalan ordenadores, pero aún así los políticos se quitan las culpas diciendo que son el profesorado, los que no saben administrar bien los recursos que se le ponen a su disposición. Que podemos esperar cuando nosotros seamos profesores, si ni los políticos saben los que quieren ni lo que van a querer. Como reflexión yo lucharía por una estabilidad en la ley educativa a largo plazo y que en vez de ir cambiando una tras otra , saquen lo positivo de cada una de ellas y hagan una que merezca la pena y en cualquier caso , que la reforme no que la cambien. Porque si se descontrola los cimientos se descontrola la estructura.

Desde mi punto de vista el fracaso escolar se produce principalmente por culpa de los padres a la hora de educar, orientar y ayudar a sus hijos en el colegio y posteriores estudios.
Este se da principalmente en familias de nivel medio y bajo los cuales sus padres en su gran mayoria no recibieron estudios y alomejor no le ha ido mal del todo en la vida y que pasa que a todos los niños llega el periodo de lo “pajaritos” en la cabeza y muchos padres en vez de decir pues a estudiar y es lo que hay, le dan la posibilidad de trabajar para que estos vean lo duro que es,etc. Que pasa que cuando ganan cuatro “perras” ya no quieren volver a los estudios.
Conclusión como dice mi abuela:”niño estudia que la cosa esta muy mala y nosotros no vamos a vivir eternamente”. Con esto quiero decir que cada uno debe ser concecuente con lo que hace aunque despues quiera meterse a trabajar por ejemplo en la carniceria del vecino pero la formación pienso que nunca esta de mas, ademas como dice el refran el saber no ocupa lugar.

El tema del fracaso escolar es uno de los temas más preocupantes en la actualidad ya que se ha convertido en un gran problema en la educación actual debido al gran número de niños que fracasan en sus estudios hasta el punto de no terminar ni la enseñanza obligatoria.
En mi opinión a pesar de estar trabajándose en este aspecto en la actualidad todavía queda mucho que trabajar, yo pienso que todos deberíamos trabajar y ayudar en la medida de nuestras posibilidades tanto padres, alumnos, profesores y toda la comunidad educativa.
Yo pienso que una de las medidas más importantes que se deberían adoptar para luchar contra el fracaso escolar puede ser la de realizar una enseñanza mas individualizada, ya que cada alumno es diferente y tiene unas necesidades distintas a las del resto por lo cual , se deberían tratar de forma más individual para poder comprobar cuales son los problemas de cada uno y las necesidades para tratar de resolverlas aunque eso suponga tener que contratar a mas profesores y reducir los grupos por cada profesor, ya que no creo que eso suponga un problema ya que hay muchos profesores en paro y si la educación lo necesita se debería hacer cueste lo que cueste, ya que es muy importante para la sociedad actual y del futuro.

Como bien dice el texto el fracaso escolar no se le puede atribuir únicamente a las dificultades personales que tienen los alumnos para alcanzar los objetivos marcados por el sistema educativo sino que también se le puede atribuir importancia en este sentido a la falta de capacidad de adaptación del sistema y del profesorado.
El alto índice de fracaso escolar que tenemos en nuestro país es cuanto menos, preocupante, por lo que creo que se deberían tomar medidas serias y llevar a cabo una reestructuración casi completa de la educación que sea tomada por todos los que tienen como función planificar, decidir y desarrollar el proceso educativo. Para poder mejorar, es necesario primero saber cuáles son las causas del reciente fracaso y es por eso que nos habla el artículo de “diagnóstico´´ que lo divide en ciertas fases.
La primera de las fases es el tratamiento de la información escolar y familiar. Esta fase cobra, a mi juicio, gran importancia ya que el núcleo familiar es importantísimo en el desarrollo del niño y es algo que lo condiciona durante toda su vida en menor o mayor medida por lo que este puede ser un buen lugar para indagar en busca de las deficiencias que conducen al fracaso escolar.
La segunda fase es la exploración psico-pedagógica que trata el desarrollo directo del alumno en diversos campos como son el nivel mental, la exploración del lenguaje, del nivel pedagógico, etc. Datos que son relevantes para conseguir encontrar el origen de las deficiencias que acaban derivando en el fracaso escolar.
Como ya dije antes, la única forma de prevenir el fracaso escolar, es con la total implicación de todos los agentes participantes en el proceso como padres, profesores y los mismos alumnos para que conjuntamente tomen parte activa en la tarea educativa.
A la pregunta ¿Cómo tratar el fracaso escolar? pienso que se debería responder a cada caso por separado, llevando a cabo un minucioso estudio de cada caso teniendo en cuenta algunos aspectos:
1. El tratamiento debe estar basado en el diagnóstico.
2. La enseñanza correctiva ha de ser individualizada.
3. El programa correctivo debe ser estimulante y motivador.
4. Los ejercicios y materiales deben seleccionarse cuidadosamente.
5. El tratamiento debe tener en cuenta todas las circunstancias ambientales en que el niño se desenvuelve.
6. El progreso del niño debe ser continuamente evaluado
Un saludo, Víctor Manuel Acedo García
Estoy completamente de acuerdo con el artículo, pero también considero que el fracaso escolar no es siempre debido a una mala programación/enseñanza, hay muchos factores (que quizás antes no se acentuaban tanto) que deberíamos evitar para así lograr un mayor interés por el aprendizaje, con estos factores me refiero a: la educación en los hogares, es allí donde realmente han de evitar el fracaso escolar; la atención, la falta de interés en las clases cada vez va en aumento; poca motivación/interés por parte de los padres de los alumnos, tanto en la escuela como en sus hogares ya no se preocupan por la educación de sus hijos, es algo que directamente lo achacan a sus profesores. Si consiguiésemos evitar todos estos factores y algunos otros, además de seguir los pasos mencionados en el artículo, sería esta la manera de evitar el fracaso escolar.
Creo que el fracaso escolar es un tema que necesitaría una investigación profunda y seria, pues son varios los aspectos a tratar, los cuales van desde el poco tiempo que los niños pasan con sus padres ya que hoy en día padres y madres trabajan y se comunican muy poco con sus hijos; pasando por los métodos de enseñanza aplicados por los profesores (generalmente método tradicional) que aburren a los niños no motivándolos para aprender e interesarse por la escuela, también destacaría otro factor importantísimo como los cambios constantes de Ley de Educación que se hacen según el color político que nos gobierne. Entiendo pues que éstos nos han llevado a tan alto índice de fracaso escolar.
Prevenir el fracaso escolar es tarea difícil siendo necesario para ello el convencimiento y el esfuerzo conjunto de las Administraciones públicas, de los profesores y de los padres para trabajar en una misma dirección y poder poco a poco dar solución al grave problema educacional que tenemos, siendo todo ello un proyecto a largo plazo.
Por último señalar que estoy de acuerdo con las medidas que señala el artículo referente a la recuperación educativa, pues es importante trabajar a cada niño de una forma personalizada y estimulante, respecto a los principios que rigen la aplicabilidad educativa manifestar que es un buen comienzo para arreglar la situación a corto plazo, pues hay que profundizar mucho más en el problema.
Antonio Salguero Andrino.
Universidad de Huelva. (España).
Estimado Antonio, estoy de acuerdo en lo que comentas, el fracaso escolar es un tema bastante importante,yo añadiría otra cosa más y es que la base del desarrollo de un país va a depender de como se gestionen las cosas en el presente ya que ello incidirá sobre el futuro, esto quiere decir que todos los factores que se han comentado en el artículo si no se aplican de forma adecuada para subsanar el problema dará como consecuencia a un adulto poco preparado, con inseguridades para afrontar el mundo laboral y las empresas no se andan con chiquitas, actualmente, por desgracia debido a los continuos cambios de planes de estudio que premian a un alumno que realiza el mínimo esfuerzo, que eso es fracaso escolar, cuando llegan a la universidad se estrellan por no poder alcanzar el nivel de estudio y preparación que le exige la carrera provocando el abandono, esto tambien ha hecho que el nivel de enseñanza universitaria tambien disminuya con el fin de disminuir ese abandono, pero que pasa cuando terminan? que muchos no son capaces de llegar al nivel que les exige la empresa y no son aptos para llevar un puesto de responsabilidad, porque para ello se debe reunir un perfil determinado dentro del cual se encuentra factores personales como confianza, seguridad, tenacidad, proactividad, disciplina, respeto etc, elementos que se deben alimentar desde la infancia a través de los padres, educadores y del esfuerzo del niño.
Actualmente la tedencia que existe en las empresas, fomentado por ese “fracaso escolar” y la crisis, es que las mismas prefieren individuos inseguros y que no sepan demasiado para poder manipularlas con facilidad ya que un individuo con las características positivas que he comentado antes es díficil que lo manipiulen y eso a determinadas entidades les molesta. En definitiva, el fracaso escolar puede conllevar a todo esto.
Un saludo, Ana Queraltó
Desde mi punto de vista en el fracaso escolar participan 3 elementos:profesor, alumno, y padres.
Todos tienen parte de culpa en el fracaso escolar de un niño, pero principalmente son los padres que son los que tienen que educar al niño desde un primer momento y ayudarles y apoyarles en todo lo necesario respecto de la educación.Después pienso que tiene bastante culpa el propio alumno porque el fracaso escolar depende directamente de ellos mismos.
Por último pienso que el profesor es el que menos culpa tiene del fracaso, aunque su profesionalidad es fundamental a la hora de que un alumno fracase o no.

Pienso que para ver a que es debido este fracaso escolar debemos tener en cuenta diversos factores como son la familia,la economía de está y la motivación del niño hacia la escuela…
Todo esto influye más de lo que uno puede llegar a imaginar en el niño de forma que lo más importante bajo mi punto de vista es que los padres se comprometan con el maestro para motivar a el alumno tanto interna como externamente para que no caiga en la desmotivación de la cual para un niño y sin la colaboración de sus padres puede ser el punto y final para salir de ella…

El fracaso escolar lo entiendo como una inadaptación al sistema educativo, ya que partiendo de que todos los niños no son iguales,es de cajón,que todos los niños no tienen las mismas capacidades y por consiguiente no se les puede dar a todos un mismo patrón para aprender. El fracaso escolar deriva de que el sistema está hecho por personas adultas,que no tienen contacto con los niños y que dista o se aleja mucho de lo que ellos realmente quieren o necesitan para su desarrollo y progreso. Prevenir este fracaso escolar es fundamental,partiendo de la base de que todos tienen que poner su granito de arena,incluyendo a maestros, padres y madres, y por supuesto los niños. Hay que mostrar al niño, a mi entender, todo el apoyo y comprensión posible,hay que escucharlo, hay que saber sus gustos,sus preferencias,conocer su entorno,su relación con los demás,y no limitarnos sólo a darles lo que el curriculum establece y ya está,porque ahi radica el error,ya que hay que ir más alla de dar el simple temario,ya que eso es importante pero tambien es muy importante el desarrollo de su persona, y por ello es fundamental motivarles para que no caigan en el tan temido fracaso escolar.
Ignacio Alvarez Ruiz 1º E.F. turno tarde. Universidad de Huelva
Bajo mi punto de vista estudiante y ahora un poco de vista docente, pienso que el fracaso escolar en la mayoría de los casos es culpa del alumno y el ámbito que le rodea ya sea familiar, amigos….Pienso que si un alumno con las capacidades normales de un niño cualquiera con un poco de esfuerzo, unos más que otros, está capacitado para sacar cualquier curso hacia delante.
Otro problema que veo en el fracaso escolar es el dado que hay dentro de la culpa de quién es??? Para el padre el profesor, para el profesor el alumno y para el alumno todos los que estamos alrededor.
EN definitiva pienso que en vez de echarnos culpa de quién es o no es,debemos de resolver los problemas lo antes posible.

El tema de este articulo, esta a la orden del día ya que España esta entre los peores países de la unión europea enguanto a fracaso escolar. Pero, ¿el fracaso escolar es algo que los niños provocan? Cuando oímos en los medios o en el colegio hablar de este tema, la mayoría de la gente piensa en alumnos de mal comportamiento, negados al estudio o sin animo de aprendizaje, y estamos en un error, las causas en cuanto al fracaso escolar se refiere, como se indican en el articulo, pueden ser muchas y variadas, desde la propia familia hasta la educación que imparte el profesor. Estas causas repercuten notablemente en el alumno, ya sea por la familia, con la desmotivación o la mala educación de los padres o el entorno alrededor del niño.
El articulo hace mención al fracaso escolar,al principio hace una mención de como diagnosticarlo acudiendo a la familia y al entorno que se produce dentro de la casa del niño y a las capacidades,actitudes y aptitudes propias del niño. En mi opinión habría que insistir en la educación recibida en los primeros años del niño ya que pienso que van a ser los que rigan la vida posterior del mismo. Los valores que se le enseñan al niño de pequeño son los que aprenderá y afianzara en los años siguientes. Un entorno educativo en casa es fundamental para el niñoy su vida en la escuela, es decir, en mi opinión los padres son los que van a construir los pilares de la formación educativa del niño, y si los padres mismos no se conciencian de lo importante que es para el niño darle una buena educación, ese niño no podrá tener un nivel académico adecuado.
A la hora del tratamiento destacaría el punto de la motivación en el alumno, y del punto de demostrarle la eficacia de una buena educación. Personalmente me parece que hoy en día existe una desmotivación grandisima en la escuela, básicamente por que los niños piensan que con las cosas que aprenden en la escuela o instituto no les va a valer para nada, bien por que su padre tenga algún negocio, bien por que ellos se piensen que lo que están estudiando para la labor que van a desarrollar no les va a valer. Asi que para mi habría que trabajar esos dos aspectos fundamentalmente.

En mi opinión el artículo nos presenta una forma de resolver el fracaso escolar que aparenta simpleza. Lejos de esto pienso que resolver un caso de fracaso escolar en un único alumno requiere la implicación de numerosos campos (escuela, familia, amigos, etc.) puesto que el fracaso de un alumno presenta el fracaso del sistema completo. Por otra parte pienso que es importante la atención individualizada al alumnado aunque pienso que en la realidad no se realiza adecuadamente puesto que para ello sería necesarío mayor número de docentes en las escuelas además, a mi parecer, creo que sería necesario un equipo de intervención en casos de fracaso u otros, más complejo y completo que el que actualmente existe en la mayoria de los centros.

Que en España hay fracaso escolar no es ninguna novedad, ya conocíamos esta noticia. Lo que yo ignoraba era que en España se tomaran tantas medidas para tratar el fracaso escolar. Sinceramente pienso que no son conscientes delo que el fracaso escolar supone para el futuro de esa persona. Desde mi punto de vista, y por propia experiencia pienso y digo, que un profesor por lo menos en la enseñanza secundaria piensa que si un alumno no llega a un nivel no es por culpa suya, y por lo tanto no ayudan ni cambia su sistema, “si unos no llegan, los demás si, y algunos con buena nota”. Este es mi punto de vista, es más fácil mirar hacia otro lado y cuando el alumno pase de nivel decirle, “no hagas bachiller porque tu nivel no da, porque no te preparas un modulo”. Me consuelo al pensar que todos no hacen esto, pero vuelvo a decir demasiadas personas realizan estas aclaraciones en vez de ayudar a sus alumnos de una forma personalizada para que alcancen sus objetivos.
Juan Domínguez Alba. Alumno de 1º de magisterio de Educación Física de la Universidad de Huelva (España).
Bajo mi punto de vista el fracaso escolar depende de muchos factores pero siempre nos centramos o marcamos como responsables de ese fracaso tanto a los padres y madres como a los profesores.
Respecto a los padres , pienso que deberian de estar más encima de sus hijos a la hora de las tareas del colegio , de la educación que ese niño lleva ala escuela como ejemplos más claros ya que sus hijos estan en la edad de mayor aprendizaje y mayor formacion como personas para su futuro y veo que muchas familias dejan de lado un tema tan importante.
En cuanto a los profesores , piensoque hoy en dia el profesor no solo se dedica a enseñar sino que también actua a veces como “padre” de los alumnos , ya que muchos pro la situación familiar de despreocupación que sufren llegan al cole con más problemas de la cuenta por eso el profesor debe saber o concoer en este caso tanto el nivel social del alumno , su familia , su entorno , sus amigos , etc, para así saber como enseñarle y tratarlos y si no se hace así y se trata a todos por igual en las aulas llegan los fracasos y las deficiencias d elos alumnos.

El fracaso escolar no es solo en el ámbito meramente educativo si no también en el personal.
Los factores que influyen en dicho fracaso son muchos y muy complejos, pero para poder evitar esto se debe de seguir un procedimiento basado en el diagnostico de este problema y tratamiento del mismo. Se debe conseguir que tanto por parte de padres como profesores como alumnos mismos se ponga una solución antes de que en muchos casos sea irreversible. (Para ellos se realiza un estudio completo a todos los niveles tanto psíquicos como familiares etc.)

En mi opinión el fracaso escolar tiene claros culpables: los padres y los profesores.
En muchos casos los profesores tienen mucho peso en la educación de los niños no solo como profesores sino como algo más, ya que, existen familias en las que los padres no actuan como tales, por eso el profesor debe cuidar muy mucho su forma de enseñar en un aula y sobre todo tener muy en cuenta frente a quien está, ante unos pequeños que solo buscan divertirse y se distraen con suma facilidad, a los que solo debes captar su atención de alguna forma. Una vez captada su atención podemos enseñarles y ellos aprender miles de cosas pero claro para ello el profesor debe saber utilizar la metodología adecuada.
Los padres por su parte deben hacer hincapié en los estudios de su hijo llevando más al dia sus clases y trabajos diarios que el propio niño y deben darse cuenta que estamos realizando la base de estos niños y que cuando hay que ayudarles a arrancar es ahora y no cuando el profesor nos haya llamado la atención porque nuestro hijo no trabaja como el resto del grupo.
En definitiva, los profesores deben poner de su parte y utilizar una metodologia más integradora para ellos y en la que puedan participar más a la hora de realizar tareas contextualizadas, ya que, hemos dicho que nos debemos basar en eso y no en la cantidad de contenidos a veces inútiles que el estado nos exige.

El fracaso escolar puede producirse por diferentes aspectos; personales, la no capacidad de adaptación al sistema o a un sistema erróneo de docencia (permítame reflexionar). Es necesario conocer al alumno, su circulo familiar, su circulo de amigos, su nivel mental…de ahí depende mucho el conocer de que manera el profesor puede llegar al alumno, aunque es difícil hacer un estudio individual en un aula, pero a pesar de ello el profesor tiene que seguir en su lucha de individualizar al alumno para conseguir el proyecto.
Con respecto a lo que se dice en el artículo, no creo que se hagan tantas cosas, puesto que se necesitaría dinero y principalmente tiempo para estudiar a todos/as los/as alumnos/as, y es algo imposible, aunque podría ser positivo para conocer al/a niño/a cuanto antes y corregirlos en el momento que se detecte alguna anomalía.
El hecho de que se estudie a un niño, es como bien he dicho cuando se le empieza a ver algunas carencias académicas.
Aunque hay especialistas que ayudan y refuerzan, e incluso el mismo profesor, el factor más importante de todo docente creo que es el tiempo que tienen para enseñar unos contenidos, puesto que al final tienen que evaluarlos de ello.
Ésto es una experiencia personal que incluso he comentado y criticado en muchas ocasiones con compañeros/as hasta incluso en los niveles universitarios. Siempre se intenta que el grupo avance como un todo, que tengan el mismo nivel, etc. y en grupos numerosos el fracaso es aún mayor, porque la enseñanza es aún más globalizada y no se puede detener uno/a mucho.
No digo que la culpa sea de ésto que digo, también hay que estudiar los casos de cada niño, que es de lo que se trataría y que se hace muy poco, por falta de atención hacia éste u lo que sea, pero también creo que no hace un buen planteamiento en la enseñanza; lo único que se quiere es abrirle la cabeza al niño y meterle cantidad de información a la fuerza y luego, que casi él la procese por sí mismo.
A parte los niños deben de estar ayudados, guiados y estimulados por toda la sociedad (familiares, docentes, la calle, público en general), porque viendo y escuchando también aprendemos muchos, tanto bueno como malo, y determinan ciertas actitudes y aptitudes.

¿Quién tiene la culpa de unos malos resultados académicos de un niño en primaria? El pequeño le hecha las culpas al profesor, que le tiene mania, los padres se enfadan con el niño pero miran un poco mal al profesor, quitandole cierta autoridad con respecto al niño y el profesor dice que el es alumno, que no estudia lo suficiente o que en casa no se le exige demasiado. Para mi el niño que no saca buenos resultados es porque no quiere, solo con un poco de esfuerzo, unos mas y otros meno, puedes sacar unos estudios. Solo tenemos que poner un poco de nuestra parte todos de una manera activa, padres profesor y por supuesto el alumnos y las medidas siempre para mejorar tienen que ser de una manera que todos se impliquen.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con que el fracaso escolar, no es solo por el rendimiento o ganas de estudiar de un alumno, sino como bien dice el artículo “el complejo mundo de la teorí¬a del currículum y de los valores que la escuela como institución va transmitiendo y debe ser analizado en el marco de un determinado contexto”.
Considero como causas del fracaso escolar; la nula participación e interés de los padres a la ayuda en los estudios de sus hijos, ya que actualmente buscamos objetivos a corto plazo y no miramos hacia el futuro de nuestra sociedad, a las modificaciones de leyes que hacen los políticos cuando gobiernan y también considero causa de fracaso, que cada vez se involucran menos los docentes en la enseñanza de los niños.
Podríamos prevenir el fracaso escolar con la ayuda de todos, es decir, con las familias, los alumnos, docentes, instituciones, políticos,…. Debemos de involucrarnos, porque es el futuro de nuestra sociedad el tener a niños bien preparados y con un buen nivel de estudios para poder progresar y no quedarnos estancados a nivel europeo.
En mi opinión el fracaso escolar es demasiado y hay que tomar medidas ya, para mí hay que reforzar la unidad de la escuela y familia y que la política no rompa el plan de estudios cada vez que haya elecciones.
Por otro lado hay que motivar al alumnado, ya que, si hay motivación el niño muestra interés y no abandonara los estudios, también hay que hacer comprender a alumnado que necesita el estudio para desarrollarse y formarse para poder desenvolverse el día de mañana.
Aparte, los docentes deben investigar y mejorar su enseñanza si ven que no hay resultados positivos.
Así que si todos ponemos de nuestra parte alumnos, profesores, políticos y familia podemos solucionarlo pero siendo una unidad no cada uno por su lado, por eso debemos unirnos y llegar a una solución, pero viendo el día a día eso está por ahora difícil, ya que no hay manera de ponerse de acuerdo, una lástima, debemos concienciarnos y poner una solución y en mi opinión como una unidad.
Un saludo:
Gonzalo Almanza Navas, alumno de primero de magisterio de E.F. turno tarde.
Estimado Gonzalo:
Desde un punto de vista político ¿qué soluciones te parece que habría que adoptar?
Gracias y saludos.
José Manuel Bautista.
En mi opinión, desde el punto de vista político deberían de hacer un plan de estudios a largo plazo y que no se rompiera cada vez que en las elecciones se cambie de partido político, ya que, cuando cambia el partido político rompen con el plan actual y ponen uno nuevo, nuevas leyes, decretos… y se produce un trastorno en la educación, ya que, para que entre el nuevo plan tiene que pasar un tiempo y se mezclan cosas del nuevo con el que había y eso es un desastre, así que pienso que deberían unirse de una vez por todas los dos partidos políticos mas fuertes, ya que, son los únicos q saldrán elegidos y que hagan un plan a largo plazo preocupándose de la educación, los alumnos y profesores y no de sus ideales, que lleguen a un acuerdo que sea el mejor para el alumnado y profesores y establecer la educación para desarrollarla y consolidarla.
Pero eso esta difícil ya que sus ideales son muy diferentes y ninguno quiere renunciar a ellos y no se ponen de acuerdo ni a la de tres, una lástima.
Por otro lado que el profesor que de clase no mezcle sus ideas políticas con la enseñanza o por lo menos de forma moderada, ya que siempre tus ideales no se pueden cambiar y siempre influyen de alguna manera, en la forma de explicar del profesor.
Pero lo más importante es poner ya un plan a largo plazo y no cambiarlo cada vez que entre un partido diferente al que había, solo cambiar pequeños puntos del nuevo plan pero conjuntamente para mejorarlo si se puede pero siempre como una unidad con el objetivo de mejorar la educación.
Un saludo, Gonzalo Almanza Navas.
Para que el alumno no llegue al fracaso escolar debemos analizar aquellos aspectos que hacen que el niño no se desenvuelva bien en la escuela, todos los factores internos y externos, como son la relación con sus padres, el nivel económico..
Todo esto influye en el niño de una manera significativa y para ello es necesario comprometer e implicar a padres, profesores y alumnos, para que entre ellos resuelvan este problema que cada vez es mayor y muy difícil de detener. Yo creo que lo más imprescindible para que no haya tanto fracaso escolar es darle al niño aquella motivación que necesita, para que así afronte con más fuerza y facilidad el estudio para alcanzar los objetivos.

Estimado Fernando:
¿Por qué piensas que los niños (alumnos) han perdido la motivación y van a la escuela con desinterés? ¿Cuáles serían las causas?
Gracias.
José Manuel Bautista.
Los alumnos han perdido la motivación porque los profesores casi siempre realizan el mismo proceso de enseñanza para impartir la clase. Yo creo que para que las actividades sean de interés para el alumnado tienen que ser variadas, como por ejemplo realizar un concurso con varios equipos y a quien consiga más puntos se le sube la nota, ver un vídeo y luego que realicen un resumen.. una forma de aprender lúdica.
También existe la motivación extrínseca como la de los padres que puede ser la que a veces más influye en el niño: esta motivación significa que el niño hace algo a cambio de algo que le va a ofrecer el padre si consigue el objetivo propuesto, ejemplo, “si me apruebas todas con buena nota te regalo una bicicleta”. Pero hoy en día pienso que también han perdido esa motivación por culpa de los padres ya que ahora los niños tienen de todo y no saben más que pedir.
Pero la motivación más importante es la intrínseca, que el niño aprenda sin que le ofrezca nadie nada a cambio, por superarse a sí mismo (pero este tipo de motivación escasea).
El fracaso escolar es un tema muy importante y que por desgracia va en aumento.
Muchos alumnos son los que no llegan a alcanzar los objetivos marcados, dejando a una temprana edad su formación.
Entre los muchos factores que puedes influir para que se de el fracaso escolar en el alumno, considero principales: la falta de atención de los padres, falta de interés del alumno, el sistema educativo en sí, ya que facilita el acceder a cursos superiores sin que el alumno haya aprobado el suyo, implicando esto una desmotivación total en el menor…
Los programas de recuperación en los centros me parece una buena idea, pero, ¿lo llevan a cabo todos por igual? Creo que se debería de empezar por ahí, homogeneizando la forma de llevarlos a cabo, para conseguir mejorarlos entre todos.
La implicación de padres, profesores y los propios alumnos es fundamental para prevenir el fracaso.
Me parece muy interesante lo comentado en el artículo respecto a que la enseñanza debe de ser personalizada, ya que así se observaría de primera mano las debilidades y progresos de los alumnos.
Daniel Pérez Romero. 1º Magisterio Educación Física (Turno de tarde)
El fracaso escolar de hoy en día es inminente, es decir, no es la misma educación que recibieron nuestros abuelos, a ellos le hacían estudiar de memoria y le obligaban estudiar y si no querían estudiar a trabajar, con que digo yo? -Fracaso Escolar? En el pasado la población era mucho menor que ahora, con que todas esas personas que dejaban la escuela a los 12 ó 14 años de edad, también abandonaban los estudios.
Hoy en día está muy mirado eso de que el niño con 16 años debe estar obligado en la escuela, para empezar no se puede obligar a nadie estar en un sitio y sino buscar alternativas o dinámicas para hacer de la educación un gusto, es decir, que el niño vea la escuela como un valor para la vida y no como un fracaso, como siempre digo en mis comentarios que hago, la única y sincera culpa de todo esto la tiene el gobierno central, puesto que cada dos por tres cambia las leyes y normativas, sinceramente se están riendo de nosotros, puesto que la educación es cultura y la cultura conlleva a saber más y no quieren que sepamos más de lo que los medios nos pueden enseñar.
Para terminar, creo que haría falta una reforma educativa, quiero decir , no para perjudicar a los niños/as, sino una reforma de profesores, puesto que muchos de ellos, la verdad están muy anticuados o no saben cómo manejar a los niños/as.
Afortunadamente, hoy en día contamos con otra forma, diferente, más adecuada y eficaz, para tratar el fracaso escolar; y además, y muy importante, también se trata su prevención.
Me parece perfecto que la recuperación educativa actual consista en un programa de educación correctiva, apoyada en el supuesto de que cada niño es diferente, por lo que la enseñanza debe ser personalizada.
A mi parecer, en este aspecto todavía queda mucho por mejorar, ya que pienso, que aún, en muchos centros educativos estos programas de recuperación no se cumplen, el fracaso escolar es muy alto, y el compromiso de padres y profesores para su prevención es insuficiente.
Por otra parte creo que respecto al informe escolar, se sigue dando mucha importancia a las evaluaciones cuantitativas, y a lo que es más importante, como por ejemplo,la opinión de los profesores sobre la integración del alumno en el grupo o la existencia de alguna anomalía específica, no se le da tanta importancia.
En conclusión, mi opinión es que sabemos lo que sería correcto y adecuado para disminuir el nivel de fracaso escolar, pero el problema y la responsabilidad está en nosotros, en poner en práctica las soluciones existentes.
Esto también depende del centro en el que nos encontremos, ya que todos los centros educativos no tendrán el mismo nivel de fracaso escolar y tampoco tendrán la misma predisposición a su prevención.
Estimada Mari:
Tus comentarios, juntos con los de Laura, son muy acertados. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo en que muchas cosas están claras en esto y otros temas fundamentales, lo que falta es la responsabilidad de llevar a cabo medidas ya sea preventivas o correctivas, repido, llevarlo a la práctica, hacerlo, además, con atención permanente para ir viendo la evolución de cada caso. Así es como hay que entender la responsabilidad de educar en el pleno sentido de la palabra.
Saludos. José Manuel Bautista.
tras leer este articulo y mi experiencia como alumna, el fracaso escolar se debe a muchos facotores como:
-la poca motivacion escolar que existe hoy en dia,es necesario ver los fracasos como aprendizaje y superacion
-una educacion mas personalizada,reduciendo el numero de alumnos en las aulas.
-poca participacion de los padres en la escuela,la poca dedicacion de ellos..que hacen que se desentiendan de sus tareas escolares.
-recompensas de los padres sin ningun esfuerzo aparente.
-vivimos en una sociadad hedonista, donde buscamos metas a corto plazo y con el menor esfuerzo posible.
un ejemplo de ello;desde mi experiencia y al ser en un lugar costero (malaga) donde la espuma inmobiliaria no dejaba de crecer;he visto como muchos de mis compañeros de clase, se fueron como albañiles a la costa del sol,pero ahora muchos de ellos recurren a la formacion que no recibieron en su momento.
